A Catalyst for Corporate Vision & RealizationAccelerating strategic goals, whether in starting a new company, making an established business more successful by creating processes, programs, and strategies, or leading the evolution of a corporation. A catalyst is critical to lead real change. At Humanetics, I was the initiator of a massive systems upgrade that secured board approval and united 15 global locations onto core IT platforms (ERP, HRIS, Consolidation, and Treasury); transforming data availability and decision making into a real time asset. I love international business and partnering with Boards, investors, and management to fuel growth and maximize value. I transform private and public companies and lift their valuations; my experience is replete with companies where I transformed strategies into lucrative returns for shareholders. While I have enjoyed working in every business climate, I am drawn to environments of change and disruption; poised to deploy my experience and creativity to best lead companies through times of opportunity.
