I'm a purpose-driven person, with the desire and drive to make our planet a healthier, more resilient and more connected place. While I've spent my working life learning how to work in and run various aspects of a number of businesses, I am set on making my next steps, ones that make a difference in our world. I've always loved the outdoors, and revel in spending time there, but at the same time I see the very many ways we are not taking care of both our immediate spaces where we spend time recreating, but also the larger places and spaces. These, while largely inhabited by nature, are so often negatively affected by the actions of humans. I wish to be a part of what creates the turn-around of how we have treated the planet to what will help to restore those spaces that need our help.On the experience side, I am an implementation oriented program and project professional with over 24 years of Product Development management experience. I have managed a wide range of activities in many on-going cross-functional team capacities. Key communicator/driver bringing together customers, product development, manufacturing/production, supply chain, quality and sales representatives.
