I've had a highly successful 20+ year career in corporate site selection, real estate construction, retail store development and strategic planning, working with some of North America's and the United Kingdom's largest retail chains. I am looking to continue with my success.Also, I have signed over 500 leases and staffed the real estate departments for The Sports Authority and Anna's Linens.Under my direction annual new store openings for PetSmart increased from 26 to 110 per year throughout the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. My experience has provided me with additional international exposure in the UK, Europe, Russia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brasil.I was able to recover funds and produce an unexpected $17M profit after my employer canceled expansion plans and I raised another $117M through the sale of non-strategic assets for that same employer. Flexibility and strategic thinking have been a hallmark that have proven valuable personally and career-wise.My strongest attributes are my capacity to perform due diligence and ascertain value, to negotiate and to cultivate excellent relationships with landlords, tenants, contractors and other vendors. I am considered a highly professional individual among my peers and, because of my strong sense of urgency, solutions orientation and integrity, I often receive calls before others regarding property submissions.
