My dad was a leader. I always wanted to be one. I just wasn't sure how and when that moment would arrive. And then, early in my career while serving as a sales leader, our CEO saw something special in me and gave me a chance to tackle a longstanding, complex business problem.Turns out it was a defining moment for me personally and professionally and became a catalyst for a career still filled with amazing opportunities; most masquerading as challenges. I have been striving ever since to be that same type of leader. One that recognizes raw talent and high potential and creates opportunities for growth. I now have more than 30 years of operating experience in corporate, private and private equity owned businesses and specialize in turnaround & organic growth, acquisition integration and restructuring situations. My broad general management experience drives my proficiency at running businesses and my extensive client interaction in sales, marketing and service enhance my skills in growing them.As a CEO and other similar position levels, I have had the privilege to lead great teams and together we have successfully executed a $160 million acquisition and integration of a leading financial services company, established a $75 million diversified marketing services business, generated $80 million in annual revenue through deployment of small business and consumer direct business models, delivered $42 million in annual revenue through new market diversification and achieved positive cash flow and EBITDA by transitioning an online learning business to a SaaS model and successfully leading an investment exit.People I work with tell me I am good at strategy development, go-to-market formulation, building high-performance teams and complex problem solving. My true passion however is engaging, inspiring and leading individuals, teams and organizations to success.I thrive on situations focused on improving and transforming teams and businesses capable of doing better.
