I'm a Managing Director and Senior Partner in the Chicago office of Boston Consulting Group, and the leader of BCG's Corporate Strategy & Finance Practice in North America. I've worked with clients across industries on a range of strategic and operational initiatives, but all aimed at delivering long-term, sustained superior shareholder returns. Prior to joining BCG, I was a consultant with McKinsey & Company and worked for clients in Telecommunications, Logistics, Retail, and Reinsurance. I have also held line roles including Operations Director for the online grocery distributor and various positions as an officer in the United States Navy, where I specialized in deep sea diving and salvage, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). I hold an MBA from Kellogg School of Management and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona.Outside of my professional life, I am a woodworker, an angler, and (when geography permits) and avid surfer and waterman.
