The Athos Group is one of the largest companies specializing in the $11.5B off-duty industry. Athos is unique in the industry in that it has two subsidiaries focused on the unique demands and needs of both the providers of services and the businesses requesting those services.As COO of Athos' security company, I drove organizational change by working directly with its law enforcement partners and officers to understand their pain points and deliver industry-first initiatives such as digitized scheduling, invoicing, and payments. These initiatives reduced overhead while driving up the speed to which officers were paid.As CRO, I began working directly with our national clients to uncover their pain points and identify areas for improvement that would lead to revenue growth. We shifted our revenue mix from primarily O&G project/disaster-based work to move reliable recurring revenue during this time. Key achievements include double-digit YoY growth and revenue mix diversification.

Disclaimer: The Gab company co-founded by me, is not the same entity that has received recent attention in the main stream media - associated with hate speech. The Gab.com domain was sold with the company in 2014.Gab was a technology company trying to solve the gap between an individuals internal knowledge and their social network. We usually apply greater validity to opinions voiced by individuals we know. This simple philosophy is what drives Gab. A user’s social network provides the knowledge engine that greatly influences many of their decisions. Simply put we listen more to people we know than those individuals whose opinions are placed in the sterile atmosphere of the world wide web. Gab is designed to expose the knowledge our friends/family already have in a seamless, easy to search/discover way.
