As a seasoned business leader, chief operating officer, and general counsel with 25 years of executive experience at dynamic, fast-paced companies in the life science industry, I have been directly responsible for P&L ($250M+ top line) management and personnel leadership of business units, as well as being primarily responsible for legal, human resources, compliance, and regulatory functions. I have seized opportunities throughout my career to develop a unique executive skill set to recognize, evaluate, and optimize the interdependency of business operations with SG&A functions to boldly drive overall company financial success within realistic, but aggressive timelines. My leadership of people is highly effective and underpinned by strong emotional intelligence and empathy that results in optimization of employee output and potential.I have spent my entire career expertly managing complicated, multi-faceted, “needle moving” matters in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. I have worked on corporate transactions and handled complex cross-border projects, while interfacing extensively with an array of governmental authorities around the world.Effectively analyzing the risk/benefit profile of challenges and opportunities and then coherently translating and inspirationally communicating the road forward in a way that all company stakeholders find meaningful and useful is at the heart of what I believe is the true “calling card” of a successful senior executive. My personal and professional maturation have me poised for ever increasing responsibility to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role.
