Growth and people are at the heart of any business. I excel at accelerating growth, driving competitive differentiation, and outpacing disruption by building and coaching talented teams who create targeted growth strategies and drive organic and M&A execution.Growth takes skill and experience. Entrepreneurial and results-focused, I’ve spent 20+ years mastering the tools required to drive growth and deliver attractive returns. I’ve been fortunate to build capabilities through a cross-functional career path spanning growth-related accountabilities. I’ve crafted enterprise growth strategies, provided consulting for operating companies, executed billions in M&A, and led integration efforts driving hundreds of millions in synergy value. But in the end people drive growth — and the most fun is leading teams to successfully navigate ambiguity and uncertainty along the path. I’m focused on building and learning from high-performing teams that can shape the future of our company. I’ve learned it takes a positive attitude, a growth mindset and a focus on systematically building team capabilities. It also takes strong communication and the ability to influence key stakeholders across the organization, in the C-suite and in the Board room. I’m also passionate about using my skills to support projects that strengthen our local community. I’ve served as a long-time board member, and head of strategic planning, for of one of Richmond’s most visited non-profits and I’m currently doing similar work for another non-profit.I’m interested in contacting former colleagues, as well as other professionals in my field.
