HOW I LEADI am a strategy and business development leader who prefers the road less traveled. If your road map for success is well documented and working, Congratulations. I thrive when a business is seeking new growth or entering uncharted territory by bringing skills that can be applied to any industry.I cut my teeth as a design engineer on pioneering aircraft: B-2 Stealth Bomber, Boeing 777 and F-22 Raptor. One team with a singular focus on the master design plan. I took my problem-solving skills to the commercial side and found my niche in business development. Understand the opportunity through market research and data analysis then formulate and implement the strategy to solve problem and build the business.Reality Check: Nobody does it alone. The people are as critical as the strategy. We must build an effective team and direct them to progress toward the collective and individual goals. I have assembled teams to work on projects, industry committees and councils. Teams comprised of coworkers and indirect reports to CEOs and executives of multi-million-dollar companies. I relate to people at all levels and am able to organize and lead diverse groups focused on executing the plan. My approach is to transform ambiguity to clarity and chaos to order using sound data analysis, problem-solving and team building skills. Clearly communicate the objective and strategy to win. Form relationships based on trust, rapport and respect with the team and clients to create the foundation of working as one for mutual benefit.
