My purpose is to be a positive voice of reason for what's possible.Problem solving, innovation and helping others and their teams thrive is what gets me out of bed. My experience is a melting pot and a bit eccentric: Business Finance + Startups, Small Business + Manufacturing, Production Planning + Sales, Marketing, Business Development + Investment Management + Alternative Investments + Agriculture, Produce + Food Supply Chain + Business Intelligence + Process Reengineering + Technology Development + Business AdvisoryIt’s a good mix of strategic work and tactical execution. I am passionate about impact, finding a better path, and creating value along the way. I have experience in a handful of industries, but my approach is industry agnostic - at the heart of every organization is the need for proactive leadership, sound strategy, exceptional people, and deliberate execution ... all focused on client-centric, sustainable results.The most important part of my world is my amazing wife, three energetic children and our dogs, George (70lb lovable mutt) and Winnie (150lb English Mastiff). Organized chaos, and we cherish every minute of it.LOOKING FOR:Business opportunities with lower middle market, growth-oriented companies.EXPERTISE & STRENGTHS:• Business development and account management• Contract formation and negotiation• Cross-functional team leadership• Data analysis and transformation• Effective communication across all levels of an organization• Financial management, reporting and analysis• Investment opportunity due diligence• Process re-engineering, implementation and automation• Product and service line development• Project management• Strategic planning• Succession planning• Supply chain finance and optimization
