What value can a lawyer, accountant/auditor, management consultant, marketer and community leader bring to the corporate boardroom? Plenty! My multidisciplinary background allows me to be an effective business strategist; conveying a complete picture of the ever-changing marketplace, creating strategies to achieve desired growth, and designing performance-oriented planning programs. The dynamic part of any strategy is that it is fundamentally a creative process. It cannot be programmed or systematized.I love dealing with complex issues, and have a natural ability to synthesize huge amounts of disparate information into a focused and clear picture. My pragmatic and collaborative approach helps me resolve conflict, bring teams together, negotiate with governments/stakeholders, and drive key organizational initiatives.Today I work with senior executives and boards to provide context, market intelligence and data to set the future course of their companies. I also work on cross-functional teams focused on growth initiatives. I’ve helped launch a new business, develop strategies leading to a major acquisition, create an in-house intelligence program from the ground up, and communicate strategic messages to investors and staff alike.I am particularly fascinated to find ways to improve project models and derive value from mergers & acquisitions. Much of what I do is predicated on developing credible information and astute analysis as this allows you to: • Understand your competitive position, the drivers in your industry, and what differentiates you from the rest of the field• Better understand customers to design solutions that meet their needs• Create innovative products/services that open new markets• Create strategies that fend off potential threats. What is it like to work with me? I am known for the high quality of my work, my passion for research and analysis, and thoughtful consideration of key issues that help organizations realize their goals.
