I was the kid who was never satisfied with the first answer - the kid who would harass his parents to take him to the library to unlock the answer to a simple but powerful question – Why? I didn’t just want to know that the sky was blue but why it was blue. I was also the kid who loved story time. No matter the medium, if there was a good story behind it, I was all in.Today I still ask why. These days I help others on understanding the drivers behind business results. Then I take my passion for storytelling to distill the complex into a simple story - focused on transforming insights into actionable strategies. The trick is being able to see through the various data and connect them in a meaningful way. I enjoy sharing this passion with others & teaching others how to take curiosity all the way to the end. Through my own personal curiosity journey, I’ve found the greatest value I bring is: - A Collaborative Approach: Collaboration works best to unlock answers to complex problems & I thrive in those environments. - Strong Listener; Strong Leader: I am a sponge for content. I then leverage all I have soaked up to provide a clear point of view.-A Sense of Calm: When things get crazy as they always do, I’m the calming force.-Opportunity: I enjoy a good challenge & strive to unlock opportunities. I shine a light on opportunities yet to be seen.I am continuously challenged & energized by today’s shoppers and consumers. Shopper/Consumer decisions are evolving and in a quite a complex way. I have a deep passion to understand these shopper nuances & translate them to meet shoppers’ needs, wants & desires. I love to make new professional acquaintances.
