Healthy is GREATER THAN SmartThe greatest competitive advantage an organization can have is to be HEALTHY!Want a great culture? --> Get Healthy!Want lower turnover? --> Get Healthy!Want to eliminate politics? --> Get Healthy!Want faster results? --> Get Healthy!Want better performance? --> GET HEALTHY!Organizational Health is built upon the foundations of vulnerability-based TRUST, productive conflict and outstanding Leadership.I specialize in training and coaching teams and managers around these foundational elements using the principles found in The Six Types of Working Genius, and Maxwell Leadership. My background in IT makes me a particularly good fit for software development teams and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) because I already speak their language. In fact, I consider myself TRI-Lingual... I speak English, Business and Geek!If you're not an IT services organization, fear not! I can help you too.

Interior Specialists, Inc. went through more than a dozen mergers and acquisitions during my tenure, ultimately landing on the go-to-market identity of Interior Logic Group, Inc. Throughout this process, I worked with our Private Equity partners, executed due diligence from a custom software applications perspective, and led the integration and assimilation efforts bringing the teams from all organizations together to work as one unified whole.Some of the core projects undertaken by my teams during this period were multiple ERP integrations, including SAP and NetSuite, by using tools such as Dell Boomi, MuleSoft, and RESTful API services for external customer integrations. We also performed major open-heart surgery on the core Design Center pricing tool (HDS). The conversion of the product catalog from a "product SKU with color list" model to a full "one color = one SKU" model, along with all of the ripple effects throughout the system and the integrations was a 15-month project with several interim releases along the way.Another project was the introduction of an industry-leading model for custom Counters and Walls design pricing. This was the first of its kind, and provided real-time fully installed price quotes for homeowners. With the need to account for multiple piece types, labor types, extra materials, transformation of materials, and visualization, this multi-year project was a huge success, resulting in a 35% increase in top-line revenue.Of course no work history narrative for this time period would be complete without making note of the COVID pandemic. Suffice it to say that we ran hybrid and remote teams for years before the pandemic made it cool, so when we were forced to shutdown our offices and work from home, the transition was nearly seamless. We had already been running stand-ups and team meetings by video conferencing for years before the March 2020 shutdown, and later elected to close that office entirely.
