Accomplished executive and proven expert in leading large organizations and high performing teams.At my core is a strong technical foundation encompassing a Systems Engineering degree from the Naval Academy, decades of nuclear engineering with the Navy Nuclear Power Program, and critical assignments operating or ensuring the safe operation of nuclear plants and supporting the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. I also have formal business management training and earned an Executive Masters in Business Administration (MBA). As a leader underpinned by substantial technical experience, I have been highly effective in leading large organizations of up to 12,000 people.My strengths include the ability to interact with people at all levels, assess what’s working and what’s not, get to the root of the issues, foster learning, identify and implement corrective actions, and then institutionalize these changes so they don’t just become short-lived “good ideas”. I am also an expert in strategic thinking, executive coaching, human factors, high-reliability, and the application of learning organization principles.
Listed skills include Navy, Command, Military, Nuclear, and 29 others.
