I've worked with three extraordinary firms in the last decade. MobilSense pioneered active management of mobile data contracts and performance. Berger and Montague, a nationally-recognized law firm, specialized in complex contract governance and supplier performance management. The Dolan law firm of San Francisco had an active practice in contract litigation. As a business development and senior account executive, I've had various titles over the years, including Strategic Account Exec., Contract Compliance Specialist; Independent Consultant; Dir. of Sales, VP Bus. Dev. and AWS Certified Solution Architect. Regardless of my title, ALL of my positions have included individual booking goals or sales quotas, personal development and management of a pipeline of qualified opportunities, and a values and solutions approach that provided a competitive advantage.Contracts, Trust & ComplianceI believe that our destiny is determined by our choices in life rather than merely our external circumstances. The choices we make define us; they shape our character, ethics, and our worth to society. For me, contracts are more than simple business documents. They are at the foundation of our society and the basis for trust. Contracts have long defined the relationships between individuals, organizations, and countries, including the basic social contract that we take for granted and the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment and contract clauses. Contract ComplianceForbes recently called ASC 606 "the most profound new compliance changes to come to corporate finance since Sarbanes-Oxley." Companies would be wise to consider how the new standards will affect them. I specialize in risk management and corporate contract compliance in corporate and government. Outside of the office, I’m a volunteer on creativity research projects at U.C.L.A. I’ve long been fascinated with how the mind comes up with profound “aha” moments.
