"Leadership is the ability to influence others for the greater good" – Tony RobbinsSenior executive with 30+ years of knowledge, skills and industry relationships to manage a diverse team in the planning, engineering, architecture and design of smart cities. I have a proven history as a senior executive achieving success in performance enhancement, business development, and organization growth. My experience includes establishing new business initiatives through large scale public / private infrastructure projects (P3), building high performance and strategic teams, and applying innovative thinking to enhance value creation and return on investments. “Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection” – Mark TwainI am a consummate learner, inspiring leader, and strong mentor. As a licensed Civil Engineer and Certified Planner, I have a unique understanding of the big picture from a broad planning level down to implementation at a detailed design level. There is a competitive advantage that results from this perspective and this is exemplified on my award winning projects such as the City of Los Angeles Civic Center Master Plan and my ability to bring new technologies and innovation to government with the SCAG Curb Asset Management Program. “Everything on this earth is in a continuous state of evolving, you were not put on this earth to remain stagnant” – Steve Maraboli The built-environment is changing in leaps and bounds and the recent events of the pandemic and social change are dramatically speeding up this evolution. Change is an opportunity and I enjoy solving the complex problems of future cities. I understand how design, policy, funding, and community can play a powerful role in creating vibrant, resilient and strong places for the people to live, work and thrive. I am able to build coalitions that can leverage change for a positive outcome. I welcome the opportunity to start a conversation about how we can ignite the possibilities!
