I love environments where I can help pave new paths, develop innovative product lines, and achieve something that hasn’t been done before. My 15+ years of success in developing new product lines that drive revenue growth for corporate, retail, and service delivery organizations is attributed to my diverse background in industrial engineering and sales leadership. I thrive in turbulent environments as an even-keeled, hands-on leader. I have also been told that I excel in building relationships by persuading others to either buy in to a new idea or to grow as a high-performance asset to the team.
