I thrive on growing businesses from a modest position to a driving force in industry. I’ve often been the underdog, a new business competing against the big guys, and I like the challenge of doing something others think can’t be done. I am energized by developing a strategy and leading the execution, responsible for the ultimate outcome. I grew a Professional IT Consulting business from a small $6M family-owned business with few processes or internal structures to an efficient, powerful $90M competitor in the market. Along the way, we were acquired 4 times in 4 years, which taught me to be flexible and resilient, and protect the most important asset of the business – its people.My passion in business is growth– which includes both people and revenue. I want to promote and develop a team that grows with the business, bringing diverse viewpoints but working toward a common goal. Together, we can innovate and exploit new opportunities within emerging sectors and clients, creating new value propositions. I lead by example and operate with transparency, vision, and integrity.It is exciting to transform a business. A merger or acquisition is a complicated, real-world puzzle that impacts people’s careers and lives, and it is critically important to listen to all stakeholders to get it right. It’s about coming together to reach a compromise, where each side feels heard and valued, in order to actualize sustainable synergies.My professional experience and passions include: • Executive Management of Professional IT Services• Service Delivery of Complex Application Development and Operations & Maintenance of Large Scale Systems• Business Transformation, Innovation, and Acquisition Integration• Revenue and Profit Growth• Federal Government ContractingOutside of work you can find me hiking, skiing, or exploring the world with my young family.
