I am an adventure-seeker by nature and by profession. I left my hometown as soon as I graduated college in search of new adventures and never looked back. Since then, I’ve built a successful career helping companies market and sell their innovative products and services, expand into new territories, and form fruitful partnerships in the retail ecosystem. Adventure promises limitless possibilities: I can accomplish the impossible and impact people positively along the way.Career Overview Over the past decade and a half, I’ve helped clients grow revenue and market share by strengthening relationships between consumer goods companies and retailers, creating impactful brand and marketing experiences for customers, and building ambitious and accountable sales teams. At Mars Petcare, I grew my territory from southern California to all of western United States, eventually taking over the entire Mars Petcare portfolio generating $100M+ annual revenue. At Kraft Heinz, I not only grew Kraft’s market share in multiple categories, but also impacted people and culture by setting up a corporate management training program and paving the way for active engagement with DE&I initiatives.Today, as the Chief Growth Officer at Insignia Systems, I’ve led a multi-pronged strategy to transform the organization to anticipate the rapidly advancing needs of companies in the retail and e-commerce spaces. I’ve delivered 6 consecutive quarters of growth—the longest period of growth in Insignia’s 30-year history—and positioned Insignia for further growth by rebranding, developing new sales & marketing strategies, and launching new lines of business.Leadership StyleAs a leader, I am committed to helping others grow and develop, a commitment founded in the support I received from my own mentors. My first mentor gave me and the rest of the sales team–a ragtag team of 6 fresh out of college—ample room to fail and learn. He was a hands-on, transparent leader who was always willing to offer up his own experiences for inspiration, but always expected us to find our own paths. Today, I similarly share my experiences with my team, give them context to help them understand the particular challenge we’re trying to solve, and then I work alongside my team and support them in any way I can as they forge their own paths. Successful, thriving employees = successful companies.
