Growth executive, innovator, management consultant, teacher, board memberI am focused on innovation at the forefront of the high-end on-demand talent marketplace, i.e., where the growing universe of top independent business professionals meets the world's leading companies for interim roles and/or projects (everything except permanent full-time roles). I build and nurture key client relationships and strategic partnerships, helping unlock business potential and solve important business problems. An experienced business leader, entrepreneur, management consultant, and trusted advisor, I am passionate about empowering clients to tap the remarkable and growing world of high-end independent talent, both to utilize this segment of skilled talent and to enhance business agility. Equally, I care about helping skilled talent take greater control of their careers and make meaningful contributions for leading companies while working in non-traditional ways. I am driven by the desire to build more inclusive workplaces and by creatively disrupting barriers around work and careers in ways which also improve the ability of companies to grow, pivot, evolve and perform. I was Employee #1 at the formation of Business Talent Group (BTG), now a Heidrick & Struggles company. BTG is the leading provider of high-end on-demand business talent for project-based work. BTG enables companies to work smarter, faster, and more flexibly by accessing a curated network of thousands of the world’s best independent business professionals.Specialties: Strategy and innovation, revenue creation, B2B sales, professional services sales, channel sales, management consulting, strategic partnerships, operational excellence, entrepreneurial business growth, integration of mergers and acquisitions
