With more than 20 years of advancement in the financial services industry and additional time as a restaurant owner, I leverage a unique combination of “big picture” business perspective and an entrepreneurial mindset to navigate daily operational strategy and drive growth-focused business scenarios. Recognized for versatility in leadership and unwavering dedication to organizational success, I have been trusted in distribution leadership, agency development, operations management, financial oversight, marketing, sales, and strategy roles. Distinctly experienced in both the field & home office sides of business, I have a strong understanding of how to create harmony among all working parts to grow revenue, expand customer base, and drive turnarounds. I operate with an eye for improvement while engaging across functions—always on the lookout for opportunities to boost efficiency, effectiveness, and accuracy of operations with the consistent goal of enhancing customer and employee experiences. As a leader, I am proud of often being branded “authentic” and “one of the good guys.” I take time to understand individual motivators and foster collaboration across teams to overcome adversity, gain buy-in, and achieve goals. With a strong track record of identifying, recruiting, developing, and retaining top talent, I am focused on building strong organizational cultures open to idea sharing and capable of autonomous decision making. I am open to connecting here on LinkedIn. Feel free to reach out.
