I am a visionary leader and entrepreneurial strategist with a wide range of expertise in leading and succeeding in a variety of senior-level operational roles during the last 30 years. I thrive in challenging environments where growth and ROI intersect and where data drives decisions and corporate direction. My adaptable approach allows me to see opportunity over obstacles, embrace the demands of almost any business challenge, and bring success to the businesses I serve. My C-Suite expertise includes being Founder & CEO of six companies ranging from premises security and e-commerce software to online fantasy sports and virtual reality. What links my experiences at each of these companies is bringing innovative and often disruptive business models and concepts to the market. We identified critical points of leverage wherever we could–distribution, marketing, exploring partnerships, customer acquisition costs, and building website expertise…that was the challenge. With conceptual needs being the same across each of these companies, I was able to parlay my experience in identifying growth opportunities and capitalizing on them.INDUSTRY EXPERTISE: Premises Security, Wholesale Distribution, Gaming and VR, Web and E-commerceNOTABLE CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS★ Built and led nationally recognized portals (www.nlop.com, www.buyitonline.com) that broke traditional molds in e-commerce and online gaming {American Fantasy Sports}★ Increased sales volumes by $100M in less than 10 years by introducing B2B digital strategies and leading sales-program deployments {Seclock}★ Direct P&L responsibility for $120M in sales volume that generated more than $25M in EBITDA {Seclock}★ Identified and negotiated partnerships with several multibillion-dollar companies including Grainger, Stanley, Allegion (distribution), UFC, WWE, NASCAR (gaming), and Staples, CompUSA (e-commerce)★ Founded and secured funding for four successful startups
