Pairing logistics technology with deep industry expertise, our best-in-class platform and custom solutions fuel business growth, simplify operations, and increase efficiency for carriers and shippers alike. I have a history of providing the technology vision, strategy, and leadership to steer organizations through rapid growth, successful IPOs, acquisitions, and beyond. Highlights of my career:● Led transformation of Appetize by modernizing and optimizing the platform, reducing R&D costs, and growing the operations and engineering teams, which contributed to a successful acquisition in 2021. ● Initiated a transformation of Blackline’s technology organization and platform to support rapid growth and ensure exceptional service to its 2,000+ clients (including more than half of the Fortune 500) which was instrumental in the company’s successful IPO in October 2016.● As one of the first employees of Rent.com, provided the technology leadership to take the company from a struggling startup to an industry leader and innovator. Helped steer the technology organization through 2 acquisitions (first to eBay and then to TPG/RentPath).● As an early employee of Stamps.com, built the website under a very aggressive timeline, enabling a successful IPO and a second public offering later that same year.● Joined CitySearch as an early-stage startup and helped to build the technology stack from the ground up, resulting in a successful acquisition and IPO.Known for my collaborative and business-oriented leadership style, I am committed to motivating employees by making their contributions to the organization clear. My teams have worked harder because they see why their efforts are so important. I have a reputation for attracting and retaining top talent, maintaining exceptional retention rates even through difficult acquisitions and transitions.
