I have worked in outside sales and account management for 20+ years, ultimately gaining experience in B2B sales, retail sales operations, corporate payments, fuel cards and commercial credit card solutions I am always striving to bring 100% to the work that I do, and my goal is to build strong, long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with industry peers and clients alike.I like to solve problems. Throughout my career I have been driven by my intellectual curiosity to find answers to the most pressing problems. Whether it’s finding the perfect solutions for a mixed fleet’s fueling needs or helping an AP department automate their processes and begin generating revenue, I’ve been able to quickly uncover a customer’s pain points and identify a strategic solution.With my refined skill set, I bring customer-centric mindfulness that enables firms to innovate and thrive. This is what I’ve done for many partners as I helped them transform their payment processes to improve efficiency and generate increased revenue, and it’s what I continued to due at Pilot/Flying J with some of the largest transportation companies on the West Coast.I enjoy traveling and eating my way around the world, spending time hiking and biking, and talking about the future of autonomous vehicles and the transportation industry.
