I really try to lead with integrity & authenticity hoping to resonate with my team. I feel a title is not a reason to follow - It’s on me to inspire them to follow. My goal is to help them in their own career path to become leaders themselves. Our job as leaders is to evolve our teams from finite constricting models of competition between individuals to infinite-mindedness where together we advance a purpose to keep our teams safe, and of course generate profit in pursuit of growth. I am always looking for future team mates who are cause-oriented with passion, curiosity, and a *need* to be on a team.

As co-founder and President, it’s largely my job to develop our business strategy and ensure that our long-term course remains in concert with our vision and our core values. To my mind, a crucial part of a leader’s job is to look out and look forward. This means that we need to constantly examine how we are perceived in the marketplace. I know we have always been seen as a highly technical group … but I think we’ve had—at least some—challenge ensuring we are also perceived as a team who is equally business-focused when it comes to IT decision making. Good (read: simple) business-minded messaging takes a lot of work … and it goes a long way.Specialties: Negotiation; TCO Analysis for IT and Business Process; Hype Deflation.
