When I think back to some of my most significant impact experiences I can’t help but recall my early music training. It not only led to a life-long passion as a percussionist, but informed my professional success as well. I learned the importance of preparation, focus and perfecting the most intricate components of a piece. As lead percussionist, I learned how to set a steady unwavering pace along with the listening skills so essential in music – and life. Lastly, I learned how to collaborate and to improvise when necessary, which helped me develop confidence and determination. Today as a Digital Transformation and Operations and Marketing Executive I apply those learnings to accelerate growth for branded businesses. An agile and entrepreneurial influence I am skilled in building content, driving operational improvements, and coalescing stakeholders around common vision to enhance market leadership and corporate value. By blending engaging interpersonal style, emotional intelligence, and leadership with a strong ethical framework and calm demeanor I deliver in key performance areas.Business Building – As founding member of Martha Stewart’s launch team, coauthored business plan for Martha Stewart Living magazine and developed multiple Martha Stewart brands, growing them into a nine figure businesses.
