As a true business and sales minded entrepreneur I have held many roles and worn many hats. I have built and sold companies, sat at the table with multi-millionaires to close deals and manged entry level to senior level executives. I am comfortable in a high profile board meeting or a dusty construction site. I have years of experience in business, communicating, sales, and in building strong and loyal teams. Building loyal clients and teams is what has allowed me to be successful. I have the ability to take challenging situations and failures and make them successful. I get up every morning thankful for the ability to work hard and take care of challenges. As a former Sr. VP Operations for Layered Technologies / GSI Hosting I oversaw the operational departments, including the day-to-day activities, including operations and engineering teams. Prior to GSI, I gained extensive experience in management, recruiting, sales and technology, having worked for such companies as Tandy Corporation, Heartland Electric and Communications, Romac International/KForce, and for myself as owner/operator of restaurants and retail stores and as an independent recruiter. Earlier in my career, I spent five years with GSI in the role of technology recruiter. Having a well-rounded depth of experience enables me to run business, start up business and analyze key areas for improvement. I have a knack for hiring talented workers and in managing a diverse style of employees - People want to work for me. I have an unwavering focus on efficiency and responsiveness, and a steadfast determination to do what is best for clients.Specialties: Operations management, managed service delivery, effective employee management, team building, and hiring.
