As a trusted operational and strategic leader, I provide colleagues and customers confidence in building purposeful structure and answering critical questions through a thoughtful, creative, and logical approach. I excel when given complete freedom to create clear and concise actionable and unique insights in high-pressure environments. I stand for constant self-improvement, the pursuit of perfecting the "art-form," and that trust is everything (see below).As a team-leader, I strive to create a psychologically safe environment based on listening, trust, and being direct.  This results in teams being honest, clear, and aligned; enabling them to do more with less. I believe peak team performance is a mentality of "we're great" as opposed to "I'm great and you're not." I believe each team is in charge of their own destiny, where leading through obstacles and adversity is necessary for growth.I believe the tribe is always more powerful than an individual, no matter the title.  I stand for fostering talent with care and defining success more than promotions, recognition, and monetary rewards; but as personal growth, inspiring others, and impact on society - all driven by the soul of a startup (see below).“There’s an essential, intangible something in start-ups...an energy, a soul. Company founders, employees, and customers sense its presence. It inspires people to contribute their talent, money, and enthusiasm and fosters a deep connection and mutual purpose. As long as this spirit persists, engagement is high and start-ups remain agile and innovative, spurring growth.”Unified souls working in synchronization toward a common purpose larger than themselves is very powerful and even more so when this unspoken bond is natural and fluid.The startup soul represents the quest of the self to find harmony, connection, and wholeness.~Core Values: 1.
