About Me:I am a veteran sales and marketing entrepreneur who blends grey hair and wisdom with energy and passion. While I can make an immediate impact for companies involved in Retail, Fintech and Technology, I’m receptive to new verticals where I can sell, market, lead and inspire. I’m open to a full-time role or consulting engagement(s) - my key drivers are upside potential and cultural fit.Executive Highlights:For a Toronto-based retail-technology company, drove revenue from $5M to over $100M in four years; as SVP Sales & Marketing for Canada’s only provider of Reverse Mortgages, increased annual originations from $80M to $240M and portfolio from $300M to $1.5B.Entrepreneurial Experience:Co-founded ergo~health, a line of personal care products and secured tier-one distribution with Shoppers Drug Mart and Office Depot USA.Marketing Highlights:Key contributor for the launch of Loblaws’ Insider’s Report, President’s Choice and market roll-outs for Superstore and Drugstore concepts; created online fulfillment channel at HomEquity Bank; led the re-branding and re-positioning of Triversity, NRX, Catalina Coupons, ProCarta and HomEquity Bank.Philosophy & Outlook:Strategy is key, but what you do with it and how you execute is where the rubber meets the road. Strategy needs to be translated into a clearly articulated vision that leaves no room for interpretation and galvanizes teams to ensure flawless execution. Proper communication inspires. Culture is created and fostered. Mentoring high potential employees is a privilege.
