I love to build things -- teams, businesses, products, relationships, knowledge. I'm at my best in growth-oriented environments where I can apply my skills, enthusiasm, intuition (and data) to achieve great things.I think of myself as a modern polymath, which means I have a lot of knowledge on diverse subjects, am able to formulate creative solutions based on a wide range of experiences, see things from multiple perspectives and - most of all - am immensely curious about everything. Working at major media, consumer products, technology and retail companies has taught me the following about myself:I can successfully build businesses and relationships.- I excel at achieving goals. My super power is conceptualizing future possibilities and taking steps to turn concepts into reality. - I put customers -- internal or external -- at the center of all I do.- I am hungry for data but know it's only valuable when it goes hand-in-hand with insight.- I speak fluent Legal, Finance, Accounting, Compliance, Operations and Logisitics.I can align, grow and lead teams.- I love to win, but find joy in seeing my team grow in skills and confidence.- I motivate people through example, humor, narratives and engagement.- I believe cross-functional collaboration is beyond critical for an organization's success.- I was raised in a military family -- I learned early on that values come from the top, we lead by example and at the end of the day, the buck stops with me.Enthiasum is my middle name (it's really Marie, but it might as well be "enthusisam"....).- Because I'm curious about everything, I find a lot to be excited by.- Finding elegant solutions to complex problems is nirvana.- I get other people excited - I tell a great story, make compelling presentations and engage people in a geniune way.Skills:Business planning & developmentRelationship managementCross-functional collaborationConfident, concise & engaging communicationFinancial managementOperations, staffing & resource managementLeadership & organizational influenceSocial media, marketing & PR
