There is nothing more rewarding than leading organizations and leading people to success. I approach life with authentic enthusiasm and a passion for meaningful work – I believe that passion builds successful businesses.
My executive experience includes entrepreneurial startups and publicly traded companies – with a history of bringing sustainable growth, development of talented leaders, and a lasting positive impact. My strengths include technology, operations, analytics, sales and marketing, with a keen eye towards process and system improvement – especially in times of change, transition, or turnaround, and the challenges presented by instability.
For the past fifteen years, I have helped companies and individuals to grow and succeed. And I've built a solid understanding of how to move mountains, avoid molehills, and have fun in the process. I build teams that thrive on challenges around instability and creating something valuable from an idea.
