As Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer for MRED, I am responsible for driving the strategic vision, and bringing together people, ideas and resources to be servant leaders.I look for the opportunities to learn and create from within and outside of industries, driving forward progress for those I work with everyday. I pride myself on listening to and integrating feedback from multiple groups of stakeholders, championing growth ideas from anywhere in an organization. My “Why” in life is to create and foster a positive and optimistic atmosphere for all those around me, so that we can all grow and succeed together. A winning value proposition relies on all parts of the company to be truly successful, and I employ cross functional leadership to provide the best results to all stakeholders. Prior to joining the MLS world, I worked my way up through various levels of the marketing and operations departments at a leading residential brokerage. In supporting agents in their quest to adopt new technologies, I broke down disruptive concepts into why they matter to future business and helped overcome the fear of the new. The "Stats": Over 17 years of progressive leadership experience in marketing, operations, and technology teams; responsible for multi-million dollar budgets with revenues over $250 million; managed departments with over 200 direct and indirect reporting lines; launched new initiatives such as social media channels, search engine optimization initiatives and training, data security, and business intelligence.I find the out of office message to be the most effective way to display personality online, by showing that you can have a life offline. Try and catch me not in the office someday!
