I graduated from one of the top leadership schools in the country, the U.S. Naval Academy, where I developed real leadership skills. I refined those skills as a Naval Surface Warfare Officer. When I transitioned in 2014, I applied those skills to entrepreneurship. Now as a startup CEO, I focus on six core skills that define my approach to leading and building a company:(1) a clear vision of where the ship is sailing;(2) a finger on the pulse of the industry and competitive trends, to navigate the ship over time;(3) solid team management skills to keep all employees sailing in the same direction;(4) impeccable sales and motivational skills, while maintaining credibility with clients, investors and employees;(5) keep the business on plan and budget;(6) keep the company liquid."Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come." – Victor Hugo
