I found my passion running business Operations for the local chapter of a national association with 200+ member-companies, Regional Councils, Committees and over 400 volunteers. Promoted several times, the best part was the diversity of the work and teams I was fortunate to work with. I led positive change across the not-for-profit ranging from culture transformation to increased revenue generation and member retention, and everything in between.As an experienced operations leader with a background in sales, my job is to challenge the status quo, meet business objectives and optimize results. I increase organizational profitability and productivity, while reducing costs. My approach is pragmatic and strategic, blended with an exceptional work ethic and ability to get things done.ACHIEVEMENT SAMPLE•Improved revenue by 600%, meeting Reserves Goals for the first time in 20 years.•Increased overall event profitability by 265%.•Increased Partnership Program revenue by 130%.•Worked with state and national legislative representatives related to regulatory incentives.BUSINESS ACUMENDue to my extensive business background, I bring an entrepreneurial style, strong financial skillset and comprehensive understanding of sales and marketing, all of which inform strategic planning and execution management. Flexing easily between team player, individual contributor and team leader roles, I ensure we exceed expectations and achieve our goals.TEAMINGWhen it comes to teams, I know we’re all better together. I’m my team’s advocate and encourage professional development. Building strong cross-functional relationships, I lead across multi-disciplinary teams and drive engagement and alignment.MARKET RESEARCHConstantly tracking competitor activities and industry trends, I’m always looking for ways to benefit the company. I’m keenly tuned into what makes good sense for the business.REPORTINGIn addition, I’m a stickler for tracking pertinent, relevant data and often use data to inform decision making. Compiling financial data and designing reports is a fun activity for me (it’s true!)SOLUTION DRIVENConsistently tapped to turn around underperforming programs, projects or teams, I can figure out any problem and implement an enduring solution. There’s nothing better than analyzing a stalled or failing project/system/program and collaborating with other teams to resolve it once and for all.KEY AREAS OF EXPERIENCEOperations ManagementEvent PlanningStrategic PartnershipsFiscal Budgeting and OversightAccount ManagementClient Relations
