My leadership approach can best be defined by a tireless focus on employee development through active listening, transparent feedback, authentic respect and creating an environment that promotes empowerment at the individual and team levels. This has resulted in the development of high impact, motivated teams that drive results and continuously increase their potential.Throughout my career at a company with one of the most recognized brands and respected reputations, I led teams in both the US and international arenas. My specific area of passion is Latin and South America. I am fluent in Spanish and have extensive knowledge and experience doing business in that region of the world. Across a career of increasing responsibility, one of the core tenants of my success has been the prioritization of cross-functional engagement to create a company-wide focus on growth efforts. As a process-driven leader, I have consistently developed new business processes with particular emphasis on market planning. The implementation of those processes resulted in significantly better market knowledge and enhanced targeted growth initiatives. I am an advocate of the need for consistent focus on change management, with examples of successful business transformation projects that I directed. These projects had measureable impact by improving business models and increasing company growth and profitability.
