I'm most passionate about building new things. I flourish within opportunities to build, lead and engage new teams and when I have the opportunity to envision, strategize and build new ventures, operations, and lines of business. I've had the opportunity to grow as a versatile and entrepreneurial leader with proven internal business start-up and expansion success in well established organizations. I've become skilled in generating new lines of business, products, and operational processes especially through cross functional collaboration. At my core, I'm a futurist and I've achieved focused success in building branded experiential marketing, recreation, and community engagement programs, along with new business ventures from strategy to deployment. I'm a talented regional leader, having managed up to 20 direct reports and 400 total staff with a focus on talent development and empowerment, and I was thriving with remote and virtual team leadership before it was cool, managing and empowering a team across the U.S. and in four different time zones.
