Technology Commercialization | Capital Project Management | Cost Containment | Licensing NegotiationsI am a business professional with 15+ years of experience who can think long term and assess the big picture but can also get his hands dirty and operationally execute a plan. I always step back on any project or opportunity and look at market trends, competition, company goals, and financial outlooks before moving too far ahead. At the same time, I have the ability to “dive into the weeds” and use my technical, business, and leadership experience to evaluate every aspect with two questions in mind: are we providing the best possible solution, and are we meeting the customer’s needs?Even as a kid growing up, I’ve always had strong interests in communications and the world. The nature of my work is often very technical, and in order to be successful, one needs to master not only the "detail,” but also make it strategically comprehensible to others. I’m well versed in connecting across diverse cultures, promoting inclusive practices, and navigating through challenging situations thanks to my many years of international business experience. I am very comfortable walking into any new business or organization and quickly adapting to the situation.My prior experience is in the oil & gas, petrochemicals, biofuels, and biotechnology industries. However, I’m open to opportunities in other industries as well. I particularly enjoy roles that focus on a technical product or solution, but also have a customer-facing component or work at the interface of different internal/external groups.I describe my leadership style as collaborative. I always listen first, am available and patient with direct reports and peers, and communicate frequently and directly. My team knows I set the bar high and hold them accountable, but at the same time I always make sure to properly recognize and celebrate our victories. I love enabling both my team members and customers to succeed, and credit my strengths in leadership, communication, and relationship-building to my involvement in improv comedy as a young professional.Areas of Expertise:– Sales – Marketing – Strategy– Business Development– Research & Development – Operations– Continuous Improvement– Program Management– Engineering
