My experience…leading teams through all phases of business transformation is invigorating. Forging the vision and formulating strategy to seize the ‘white space’ is exhilarating. Getting stakeholders on the same page, memorializing the business model and crafting the plan to take the business to the next level and prepare for an exit are special gifts. My calling… passionate and engaged as Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” and pragmatically focused as Ted Forstmann’s definition of an entrepreneur (creator of the new and destroyer of the old) are hallmarks of my career! Maxim’s I embrace: ‘Be who you are and be that well’ and ‘if you are what you were meant to be, you will set the world on fire’.My passion…boldly and confidently leading change to transform an organization requires extraordinary energy and skill engaging stakeholders openly in creating a guiding coalition. Connecting the strategy dots in the industry/sector, devising and communicating a powerful transformation story and building the operating and Go-to-Market plans with short-term milestones is exciting; executing with a sense of urgency is key...all aimed at building a sustainable company and orchestrating a successful exit!AMDG & Go Navy!Specialties: General Management of middle-market businesses, founder, entrepreneur, transformational-change and turn-around leader, assessing and launching disruptive technology businesses, inspiriting teams, lean start-ups, profitably growing business, successful exits, corporate governance and board expertise, recruiting and team building, raising capital, preparing for and executing liquidity events, acquiring & integrating companies, industry consolidations & integration; penetrating new international, commercial & government market segments.
