I am a versatile customer centered, team-oriented technology operations executive with technical expertise, business acumen and strong presentation skills. I have substantial leadership experience across a range of organizations and functions in Operations, Client Success and Support as well as Technical Sales. My top talents include ideation, communication, strategic thinking, and connecting disparate ideas into winning combinations. I have extensive experience working with enterprise customers to achieve communications and technology goals, building win/win business relationships. For more than two and half decades I have represented the organizations in which I work in front of customers and prospects, in public relations work, public policy and government affairs, and I presently chair the Board of Directors for the cross-industry association of datacenter owner/operators the Data Center Coalition. I have experience acting as a spokesperson with international and top tier US media and presenting at trade shows and conferences. I develop leaders who achieve results, with my focus more intent on building strengths than remediating areas of weakness. I’ve consistently built high performing teams well equipped to meet organizational goals, clear in their objectives. I have successfully led teams that managed substantial budgets, delivering superior customer experiences and improved business outcomes, leveraging a strong Lean Six-Sigma process improvement tool set. I have a track-record of achieving cost savings while simultaneously improving other business results. I enjoy leading global teams and improving the effectiveness of organizations. I have lived and worked as an executive outside of the US, led teams on five continents, and led teams of scale (the largest was >6500 people).
