With a deep passion for the markets and for building great teams, I have leveraged my experience as both a Trader (AllianceBernstein), and Business Leader (IEX GROUP) to partner with CEOs and their business teams to successfully build, scale, transform, and turnaround businesses that increase long-term value to clients, employees, and investors. I love thinking about the future, and visualizing what is around the corner to shape and connect businesses, products, and people. I am inspired by new thinking and by innovative ideas that improve processes and increase effectiveness and efficiency that drive high performance, measurable results, and profitable businesses.Working on the street for 24 years, including trading in the Financials Sector during the Global Financial Crisis, I have been fortunate to meet, work with, and hire some incredible people that have done and are doing some amazing things in our industry. Building these relationships and investing time in them has led to some of my greatest learning and opportunities for brainstorming about the future of the markets, and then taking these ideas to the marketplace to build new businesses. close important deals, and value-creating strategic partnerships. As a leader, I bring a clear vision and sense of purpose to what needs to be done. I have consistently recruited and hired exceptional talent to build high-performance teams while building a culture of trust, continuous learning, and growth where each team member can realize their full potential and is motivated to work together to achieve incredible results. I strive to always hold myself accountable for doing what is right vs. what is easy.
