I have a 30+ year history of communications, branding, and marketing success stories in two of the world’s fastest-changing automotive segments: EVs and Upper Luxury. In my current position, as well as those past, I’ve been lucky enough to pitch, discuss, and influence high-profile executives from director to C-Suite levels at some of the most prestigious international marques, including: Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Cadillac, Ferrari, Leica, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche—and 30 more.I have an obsessive need to continuously expand my knowledge base (for example, the environmental science driving conversion to EVs), the breadth of my skillset, and the holistic nature of my approach to problem solving. My specific areas of expertise include:• Communications—whether it’s on-camera, in front of the media, on stage, or a combination of text and imagery, knowing how to evoke messages that are inspiring, truthful, and persuasive• Brand Building—creating a coherent and unassailable relationship between proven product strengths and company image• Buyer psychology and response—an intuitive understanding of what segment-specific buyers are asking for, and how to show them you’re that answer• Product Assessment—the honest appraisal of success or failure, how to fix it when it’s wrong, and where it’s most important to spend the money to get it right• International, Multi-Cultural Perspective—professional, expat experience living throughout Europe, with extensive business travel to the Middle EastMy core attributes, which I believe are valuable in any corporate setting:• Challenge-Motivated—I refuse to let reality stand in my way. If I need to know more, I learn it, and quickly. I have never failed at a challenge I took on; not ever• Risk-Conscious—I have a keen instinct for evaluating risk that comes from hundreds of hours flying small aircraft near thunderstorms. I’ve learned the importance of finding the line…so I can go right up to it • I know my current limitations—and, in view of that position, I also know what what’s necessary to exceed themMoreover I recognize that real accomplishments take time, and personal investment. I am looking for a next-chapter investment opportunity—a place and a project with long-term goals of environmental stewardship, innovation in transportation, imaging, or art—where I can help change global perceptions about the world in which we live.
