RESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: I was responsible for a $26M Revenue goal and 4 direct employees, driving aggressive growth while restructuring commercial/operations organizations, as well as defining and executing against 5 Growth Pillars and ensuring focus and results. This growth strategy led to the strategic sale of ABS to Lighthouse Lab Services.ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLEMARKET EXPANSION• The company struggled through the pandemic as the target market was unable to conduct toxicology testing, marking the need for regrowth/evolution. 30 days after assuming the CEO role, I set out to expand services and mitigate risk. I personally gathered the leadership team to conduct a thorough business review, identified gaps/issues and discussed potential solutions. Drawing on ABS’ core competencies, I developed a new strategy to leverage strengths in other financially attractive business segments. These efforts proved valuable as revenue growth increased 8.9% YoY, talent retention/acquisition and organizational trust in leadership improved, and the company was able to attain complete stabilization.
