I love creating custom solutions, and am known for conversational skills and articulating robust – but to the point, explanations and dialogue around any topic.Energized by assessing status and needs, developing purpose and strategy, and implementing a team operating model to solve for the goal, I'm often sought for insights and direction.In a career with Best Buy-Magnolia hallmarked by contributions to bottom-line profitability for multiple business units, I've been able to shape high-performing sales and service organizations, tackling aggressive goals in the field or behind the scenes. Illustrative highlights:► Played a key leadership role in the ideation and development of the Magnolia Design Center business model, operating model, and store design (1 test stores to 59 locations nationally in 5 years--to ultimately 101 stores).► Business model grew revenues in millions of dollars; and operating model created hundreds of incremental jobs nationally.► Ran and supported Magnolia's field and corporate intricacies concurrently aligned with Best Buy organization, areas, channels and mission.I'm not the note taker, or the detail-focused project manager; I'm the driving force. I do my best work standing in the fire directing traffic. I love being the first one in and the last one out.I'm the ideator who sees the myriad of complex pieces, how they move, and how they affect each other. I simplify for people what we need to get these pieces together toward our desired results.The world is full of ideators. I also maximize human capital and resources to execute. I get things done.Now, RAVE Lighting and Technology was founded to do just that: take ideas to execution.SPECIALTIES: National & Store - Multisite Operations, Performance Management, Profitability, P&L, Budgets, Financial Management, Corporate Policies & Processes, Staff Training & Development, Talent Recruitment & Retention, Benefits versus Features & Product Interest, Customer Loyalty & Experience Focus
