I love building high-performing teams and working together to solve difficult problems, especially when combining business processes and enabling technology. I’m at my happiest when making a real impact on the world, or the people on it. Proven successful with small and large companies. Hired as CTO to bring technology to next level - to create enterprise-level maturity without sacrificing startup speed - as critical step in recapitalization. Built value by revamping product development, advancing cloud strategy, and upgrading enterprise systems, culminating in successful exit.Battle-hardened with consulting experience. I’ve worked with 40+ different clients, across a variety of industries, domestically and overseas. I’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t, in lots of different situations. All about results. I challenge teams to deliver meaningful bottom line results - whether accelerating time to market or streamlining order fulfillment - not just hit dates on project plans. I excel at both strategy and execution, on projects ranging from pure business (strategy, process improvement, M&A) to quite technical (hardware development, IT roadmaps, software implementations). Team members tell me that I’m a passionate leader, approachable and culturally aware. They appreciate that I enjoy coaching and mentoring staff, listening and helping them synthesize information, and making tough decisions when needed - one thanked me for "getting them moving forward again, after years of being stuck" - all critical to leading cross-functional teams that consistently meet or exceed goals.My expertise includes:Deep Business & Technology Knowledge: Fluent in both business and technical terminology, and skilled at bridging the gap to align leadership on common goals.Leading Complex Programs: Extensive experience guiding cross-functional teams and utilizing critical thinking skills to overcome cultural, business, and technical challenges.Competitive Advantage from Data & Analytics: Sees data as strategic and manages and consumes it accordingly, to make impactful decisions.
