When I take on a new sales or service leadership role, people will tell you that I approach it with a level of enthusiasm and commitment that is contagious. To me it is less about the challenge itself or where I am working, and more about my ability to build a diverse team who will approach their work with the same level of enthusiasm and commitment that I do. People who not only can do the job, but also want to do the job, and do it well. I have built a reputation for doing exactly that. Achieving high engagement without sacrificing business results.Here are some recent career highlights:*At First 5 minutes, where I completely refocused the team to deliver a superior customer experience building a new operating rhythm.
