Ouch.)• CEO of the largest technology company (PE sponsored) in the car wash industry which employed 300+ team members. The team created and executed a strategic plan that tripled the company's revenue in just under 3 years.• Over the years I’ve led the negotiation, acquisition and integration of 30+ companies ranging from $2MM to $200MM in sales. • Served on several non-profit boards, including Chairman of a 400+ bed hospital in northwestern PennsylvaniaOver the past year I have worked to educate myself on the best practices of effective leadership coaching.• Completed an ICF® (International Coaching Federation) Accredited Leadership Coaching Certification program at American University.• Earned certification as a facilitator of The Leadership Circle 360 Profile® and The Leadership Circle Systems® leadership development program.• I pursued accreditation as a facilitator of The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team® and Everything DiSC® through Wiley Publishing.• Most recently I have earned certification as an administrator of Genos® Emotional Intelligence profiles.
