I love solving big problems and helping people take their next step. I am proud of the work I do and I’m good to the people I’m with. I am an executive who builds team strength by driving accountability, delivering results, earning trust, and investing in others. Strong intuition and a big believer in data-driven decision making. Always interested in the “so what?”. I lead by example and hold myself accountable. I am a good partner - trustworthy, collaborative, empathic, willing to help. I spend a lot of time listening and strive to provide good counsel. I have a bias toward collaboration for diversity of opinion and gaining buy-in. I think about the big picture but work to translate it to action. I really work to empower my staff and position them for success. I am good at creating structure, at logic, and at boiling down complex things. I have a sterling delivery track record. I’m an excellent coach and mentor. I am very versatile within telecom and business disciplines. And, I am a good speaker who also draws nice pictures.
