Working with talented, creative, high energy people, I take a curious, trusting and relentless approach to identify customer focused growth opportunities in existing, new verticals and adjacent spaces.Successful execution, improved productivity, sustained profitable operations and growth, generally, are only achieved through effective collaboration. Working with cross functional teams, both in and outside of the business, makes us stronger and smarter and ultimately allows us to leverage the latest strategic thinking, technology, and product innovation. My passion for leadership was forged on the soccer field both as a player and a coach. Specifically, the challenge of coaching players and understanding their strengths and opportunity areas to improve. Taking the time to think about how best to develop them and position them all in order to give the team the best chance to win. Similarly, in business, regardless of the size or geographic scope of the business I am managing, I take the time to understand my team’s strengths and weaknesses and work with them one and one to develop and position them for success, all with the aim to help our business win.Knowledge Areas:Extensive experience in the industrial and technology space working on corporate/business line strategy (including M&A target identification), financial analysis and valuations, go to market approach (though distribution, OEMs, and end users), commercial excellence (including sales and marketing org design), leading growth initiatives, driving pricing discipline/results, new product development/introduction and excellent presentation, written and oral communications (both at mid and executive levels). As well, I have extensive experience as a general manager driving P&L results around a vision with a passion for winning. Building, developing and leading teams, change management, and execution effectiveness with a strong focus on productivity (including supply chain simplification and technology adoption: cloud, big data, AI and IIOT). High degree of emotional intelligence, self-aware, and willing to learn from others. Comfortable working in uncertain/ambiguous environments, focusing on what is known to support people through challenging circumstances with courage to make tough decisions under pressure.
