During my twenty plus years in management consulting and interactive marketing, I was fortunate to have both personal and team success in defining and driving business objectives and outcomes across a number of industries, organizations large and small, and solution types from ERP to custom software, mobile apps, and integrated packaged solutions.Over the last year I've taken somewhat of a turn in directions and entered the biotech space with GenomOncology. The transition into a new industry and client space was made easier due to my previous shared work experiences with a number of the team members I would be rejoinging at GenomOncology. We had a common understanding of how we approached work in a process driven manner, adherence to and and development of best practices, and a constant focus on traction, results, and measurable impact as we serve our clients and teammates. Still, it has been a great learning opportunity and challenge to come up to speed in order to serve the bioinformatics, decision support, and broader cancer care ecosystem. At the onset of my role, I was confident in the skills I was bringing to help scale and continue to build the organization. However, seeing the impact we were already making and the potential to continue to improve cancer treatment for all, I quickly found meaning in the work that is beyond what I had previously experienced. Combining those aspects together has been an invigorating and rewarding experience. From a leadership perspective, I draw inspiration from a number of sources and mentors. I've also found that Jocko Willink and his Extreme Ownership framework and subsequent works on leadership really resonated with how I chose to lead. I've found that using that as a lens for leadership allows me to understand and draw from and incorporate other leadership material and behaviors. Additionally, having a core belief that "better" is a never ending pursuit allows me and my team to always be learning, improving, and approaching everything with a blend of humility and confidence to tackle whatever lies ahead. In addition to being a strong individual contributor, my focus and passion is being a team builder and people developer. Putting others in front of self and creating value are principles that will continue to serve me well as I lead my team and serve our clients. I truly believe that the team at GenomOncology can leave a lasting and positive mark on the journey to fight cancer and improved the quality of cancer care for everyone that we touch.
