An international business leader specialized in taking companies and products from idea to profit, my passion lies in guiding the innovation and partnerships that help businesses achieve audacious goals and disrupt markets. I have led business operations and closed partnership and acquisition deals in more than a dozen countries, achieving growth through raising capital, creating joint ventures, identifying and executing B2B2C strategies, events and PR, leveraging digital direct-to-consumer approaches, and by linking up with appropriate acquirers.With a track record of successes across multiple lines of business, I am focused on defining the vision and strategy for organizations, raising funds and managing P&L, establishing and restructuring teams both as independent startups and as departments within larger corporations, creating/executing global strategies and instituting organizational processes to support geographically disbursed teams, and building mutually-beneficial partnerships around the world to increase organizational capabilities and drive revenue.Ancillary to the focus of my core work, I help young entrepreneurs establish the baseline structures they need for their companies to flourish, providing consultative support for fledgling projects to better define their overarching business models so they can achieve their funding and go-to-market goals.I have traveled to over 60 countries and lived in Europe for nearly two decades where I became fluent in Czech, and I continue to feed my jones for adventure through piloting aircraft, scuba diving, mountain biking and snowboarding. I continue to hold permanent residency in both Europe and the U.S.
