Proven business leader with an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong track record for leading organizations in fast paced environments where ambiguity and market change are constants. I have over 20 years of experience building, motivating and growing business teams in software companies with particular emphasis in sales, business development, professional services and any related teams that touch products, markets, and customers.

My strength and passion is leading organizations: identifying market opportunities, developing strategic plans, building teams, creating winning cultures, developing talent, executing on objectives and growing the business.
