My goal is to understand the direction & purpose of a company and then create the structure, team & process to achieve it. Sun Tzu said, “in the midst of chaos there is also opportunity.” Throughout my career I have been brought in to do just that – to create order & opportunity out of chaos. I’m known among my colleagues as the person to go to when you need something done. I have built or completely overhauled major corporate functions making them more efficient & effective towards accomplishing the mission of the organization. My career path has taken some interesting turns – beginning with jobs as a challenge tester & body double on Survivor & a waitress in an Australian football stadium to a complete restructuring of a global non-profit to now a media company with the purpose of creating a more informed public. “Co-workers” along my path included sharks for Shark Week, adorable puppies, kittens & a menagerie of other animals for Puppy Bowl, wildlife ecologists studying elk in Yellowstone, educators using immersive learning & geo-inquiry in their classrooms, camera trap experts making extraordinary photos of animals in their natural habitats & marine ecologists documenting the diverse ocean waters in an effort to preserve them. I now stand beside some of the most remarkable journalists in the country, telling stories that reflect, serve and inspire all Americans.The thread running through all of this is my passion for adventure & excitement – whether in the boardroom or in the mountains of Peru, my ability to take an idea & turn it into a reality & my deep desire to support the passion & creativity of those around me. While most of my international adventure and excitement was lived in the early part of my career, I now currently enjoy supporting the goal-oriented aspirations of others. How best should we make this planet livable for all? What crazy ideas will become the norm of tomorrow? What young minds will carry humans to a sustainable planet for all creatures to enjoy? How do we best share all of these ideas and stories? To find the answers to all of these questions will require system & process people like myself, constantly thinking outside the box, to support those endeavoring to answer them.
