We have a saying at TechBrite – “Don’t be sorry, be better.” Continuous improvement is a cornerstone of my work as COO, whether as an organization or personally. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUNDWhen my partner and I decided to purchase the company, we knew we needed to establish processes in every aspect of the company – essentially, we were a 30 year-old start-up. We worked diligently to elevate the company’s reputation and bring financial rigor and stability. As the COO, I touch on every aspect of our operations, organization and culture, financial management, product development, and business development. I am proud of our exponential revenue growth and consistent operating margin performance. During my tenure, we've adopted lean manufacturing principles, reduced labor costs, achieved stellar on-time and error-free delivery metrics, and pioneered the design of over 1000 new products. Before acquiring TechBrite, I held several positions and Sprint Corporation and their spinoff, Embarq. I cut my teeth in public relations, marketing, and strategic pricing.LEADERSHIP STYLEI believe the job of a leader is to be your best and help others to be their best. I believe change begins in a vision and the leader’s job is to paint the vision for all to see. I believe in dreaming of big things but dreams are made by executing on the little things. I am objective, logical, and rigorous in problem-solving. I'm adept at peeling the layers back until, gradually, the root cause or causes are revealed. Then I work tirelessly to create solutions that are pragmatic and sustainable. Combined with my analytical nature is my ability to put myself in other shoes. I am empathetic and build strong relationships that hold a team together and make it greater than the sum of its parts.Oh – and I like to have fun and try to surround myself with inspirational individuals!
