✦ ORGANIZATIONALLY COURAGEOUS – DRIVING BUSINESS GROWTH & OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE ✦As a Chief Executive Officer, I have a history of driving business transformation, innovating creative solutions to complex operational challenges, and delivering unprecedented financial results. Throughout my career, I’ve been sought after repeatedly for strength in building relationships, gaining sponsorship; and quickly assessing situations, setting strategies, and taking businesses out of crisis. I have the business, political, and interpersonal acumen to drive improvements in revenue, market share, and corporate value.After starting my career in finance and planning, I decided I wanted to be a general manager so I pushed for higher risk building-block assignments that accelerated me towards that goal. This path required frequent moves, including overseas, and continually pushing the limits of my comfort zone. That led me to a career that enabled me to become a trusted advisor to C-level executives, business owners, and boards of directors. Highlights of my career: Turning Businesses Around: Revitalized 100+ year old family business, nearly doubling appraised company value within four years. Executed survival plan for NuCO2, cutting costs, stopping customer defections, and stabilizing the business for growth and profitable sale to a strategic partner.Achieving Operational Excellence: Established best practices in operations and improved productivity. Restructured operations, rationalized product lines for a global semiconductor chemicals manufacturing and distribution business, and doubled output with significantly fewer employees within 18 months. Leveraging Financial Acumen & Optimizing Profitability: Held P&L accountability in all operational roles, led acquisitions, raised financing, and managed capital budgets of >$50MM. Served as President and COO for Bill Gates Investments managing assets valued in the billions.
