A natural strategic thinker, I thrive on puzzles and questions that confound or frustrate most people. Where others see unrelated bits of data, I see patterns of information that reveal both issues and opportunities. My value is highest on the front-end of initiatives or assisting where vision, strategy and contingent thinking are critical. I am a highly analytical and detail-oriented individual with substantial business and consulting expertise and acumen as well as a strong science and technology background. A life-long learner, I enjoy research and analysis of all types--legal, scientific, technological, or philosophical, it doesn’t matter. A passionate leader with a collaborative style, I believe in enabling others, and effect change by bringing people along, emphasizing benefits while assuaging fears. Open and inclusive, I have a strong moral core grounded in my faith. My skills include:High performance with limited resources. Thought leadership. Mentoring. Managing relationships at all levels (from administrative staff to C-level executives). Working collaboratively with cross-functional teams. Strong negotiation skills. Excellent presenter.StrengthsFinder 2.0: Strategic, Learner, Relator, Intellection, FuturisticDISC narrative: You score like people who speak their minds, and may be blunt; have an appetite for new ideas and are attracted to challenges like a magnet; love challenges and competition, tending to take risks that others would not attempt and who usually find those gambits successful; as a leader, their competitive spirit allows them to take teams to new heights, enjoying a challenge and appreciating that trait in peers; look for new, better, and more efficient ways of getting things done; have a multitasking mind, with high urgency and little aversion to risk, often seeking ways to reduce costs (both money and time) and make systems more streamlined and efficient; are excellent problem solvers and think quickly on their feet due to their rapid decisiveness, ability to multi-task, and tendency to “blaze their own trail” rather than follow the beaten path.
