After almost 10 years as a small business and private banker at RBC, I became the CFO of a client’s family office and VP of Finance and Sales of their investment at Salesforce4Hire.

After selling the IP, I joined Johnson Nursery Corp as their first COO, executing the founder’s vision for customer service, growth, and efficiency. I led a senior team through a 56% revenue increase after years of flat growth, with continuous CSAT improvements.After being rehired on a contract basis at JNC following a strategic layoff, I spent a year consulting on org effectiveness projects with nonprofits before joining vChief.
