For me, life experiences, mountaineering, and business are all ‘chess games in motion’. It is not one move or even a series of moves that yields the desired result. Rather, leadership character, the team, the elements, preparedness and the changing situation over time all contribute to the ultimate outcome. I have won more chess matches than lost but I gain insight each match.Combining creativity and adaptability, my career experiences have been all about the strategy, tactics and high energy execution of solving complex business challenges. Success comes from taking what is obviously complex and synthesizing that into the un-obviously simple. I am an architect of innovative products and services. I implement superior business models that are founded on insights from direct customer and market interaction.As the CXO of a number of high-growth technology based companies, I use these two precepts to distinguish the companies I lead. I create realistic business plans that meet the challenge with the help of great teams to implementation. I am strong at raising money, running companies that are already off the ground - not garage startups - and taking them to scale. I get results in both corporate and business development. Many have called me a natural business builder.Specialties: I hold a unique set of experiences, in the US and internationally, that help organizations deliver winning solutions to complex business challenges.
