When people ask me what I do for a living, I always respond “I help businesses succeed by connecting to their employees and their customers”. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully grown and led several B2B and B2C businesses within the education, SaaS, information/publishing, and professional service fields. As a President, EVP, General Manager, and Managing Director, I am accustomed to wearing different hats; but my passion is connecting strategy to execution, accelerating revenue and customer success, and launching new products and services that transform markets by filling unmet needs. My passion, dedication to my employees and customers, and my drive to exceed business expectations is infectious! I’ve led platform overhauls in multiple industries. I have helped transform the culture of the businesses by rallying, motivating and engaging teams to feel part of the transformation. I have rebuilt and enhanced go-to-market strategy, always with a focus on the customer and data-driven decision making. I enjoy the art of creating strategy as well as translating that strategy into action. Key Career Accomplishments:• Accelerated growth in a leading academic publisher to strong double-digits •.
