I'm a motivated, action-oriented leader with a strong academic background. My diverse set of experiences have combined to produce a proven strategic planner, creative thinker, morale-builder, and mentor. As a former Air Force Major I instructed and evaluated America's best young pilots. My decision-making skills and can-do attitude were forged by 234 combat hours in the B-1 over Afghanistan. In corporate life I led the facilities team to unprecedented successes in employee satisfaction and cost savings. Innovative programs my team led have reduced our company's energy consumption by an average 5% year-over-year since I started the job. Working in strategic sourcing for Johnson & Johnson deepened my operations experience and honed skills working in a matrix environment. The next phase of my career is the most exciting yet. As the strategic leader for a startup, I have the chance to bring all facets of my past together. I have people relying on me to bring my best each and every day. I recognize this responsibility. Don't hesitate to drop me a line and say hi!Specialties: Competencies: group leadership; strategic thinking; creative problem solving; analytics; financial discipline
