I am a transformational leader who creates sustainable success by driving innovation, building an inclusive and collaborative culture, and balancing priorities of multiple stakeholders.  I have a track record of achievement across diverse functional roles, ranging from R&D to P&L leadership to strategic marketing, so I bring a holistic perspective which allows me to see the big picture while also appreciating the critical details. I learned early in my career that the toughest challenges to solve typically are not technical; rather the root causes of the most complex problems are people and communication.  Now, I utilize a more balanced approach of tackling key objectives while simultaneously building better communication channels and getting the people part right.A major strength is my ability to see the potential of digital transformation but simultaneously understand the people side of the equation. I understand how to drive agile innovation but I also have a keen business acumen and appreciation of risk management. I am drawn to the challenges to develop more sustainable energy, materials, and processes, but appreciate the technical, economic, and societal issues which make this non-trivial.   There are no simple solutions; the transformation required will need leaders who can engage diverse perspectives to understand the trade-offs and deliver rapid innovation while also attending to the real change management issues. Smart people can and will disagree on the best path forward and I want to be part of that conversation……My key areas of expertise include:R&D, scale-up, & commercialization of innovative products, services, & processes | ESG leadership & sustainability strategy | Digital transformation & agile techniques | Change management | Talent development, engagement & retention | Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | P&L ownership | Vision & strategy development & execution | Market analysis, competitive analysis, product management
