My brand, marketing, communications and volunteer career has spanned the renaissance of a major private jet manufacturer, to the market introduction of wireless data, to the emergence of publicly traded financial services companies. The common thread is building brands. "Brand" is much more than a marketing term - it is the reflection of an organization's essence. Brand development and management requires coalition building, operational expertise, thought leadership, tenacity and patience - all characteristics I have employed in everything from leading non-profit boards, to working as part of a corporate senior management team. I thrive in environments where teams work collectively to build bigger, better and more effective organizations.
