Knowing your way around the negotiation table is paramount for thriving where strategic partnerships are a prerequisite for success. Whether pushing for sales or discussing terms with a vendor, knowing how to present a win-win solution can mean the difference between moving forward and falling behind. It can mean success or failure.I work in the heart of one of the most unionized parts of the country, in the heavily competitive and often thorny highway construction and commercial building industries. I’ve forged strategic partnerships with government officials, union leaders, and corporate executives to see massive projects moved forward and completed on time and under budget. I’m an analytical leader with a peerless ability to connect with divergent individuals and rapidly build consensus. I leverage this talent to succeed in negotiations with the toughest NY state and union officials to secure mutually beneficial outcomes between contractor and public interests. I possess a strong network of government contacts which I use to lobby for funding at the state and federal levels to ensure mutually agreeable outcomes.In addition, I am a seasoned governance board chair with a strong interest in Web3 and blockchain technology. I own high profile NFTs including Yuga Labs and Metagood, I’ve been sitting in trustee meetings since I was 18, I am the treasurer for 2 Web3 organizations, a trustee for billions in funding, and a member of several industry boards, councils, and committees. I’m always happy to discuss lending my experience to help the right cause evolve into an industry powerhouse.
