My career path encapsulates 20+ years of city and county executive leadership experience that focuses on efficiency of operations, disciplined financial management, cost containment, and enterprise risk management. I also have a proven skill set that includes business development, contract administration, and project management with emphasis on managing capital infrastructure programs.My career long commitment to positive economic and community vitality has been cultivated by the ability to strategically oversee and drive public private partnerships and related initiatives. This expertise has been demonstrated by co-stimulating over $1.5 billion of new office, industrial, retail, and small business economic growth across metro Atlanta, as well as dozens of multi-family and residential developments. These partnerships have bolstered my understanding of real estate development, financial analysis, managing cross functional teams, capital markets, and small business development. Double digit private investor ROI’s have been constantly achieved via my negotiation and deal making skills. My experiences have also yielded thousands of new jobs, enhanced municipal revenue, and utility sales for the communities I’ve served. I enjoy volunteering with and supporting organizations whose focus is economic empowerment, arts and culture, and affordable housing. Leveraging my senior level civic leadership and volunteer board governance experiences all serve as platforms I've used to help create wealth, balanced growth, and a sustainable quality of life that collectively benefits neighborhoods, businesses, and the broader Atlanta community.
