I am a versatile product and people leader who builds new business units and maximizes the financial contribution of existing brands and product lines. As a practical, experienced design thinker I influence at the intersection of strategy and operational execution to deliver differentiation in the marketplace. Skilled in both B2B and B2C environments, I form lasting supplier and retailer partnerships while creating consumer demand that enhances growth.Driven by curiosity and customer empathy, I identify opportunities and create solutions for complex problems. As a dynamic “intrapreneur” I drive teams to move quickly, fail cheaply and iterate to ensure the best possible outcomes. Applying my expertise in product and brand development I leverage available talent and knowledge, enroll the organization and rally teams to deliver great results. I am known as an insightful thought leader with a calm presence and as a creative, solution-oriented influencer. I seek to understand disparate points of view, expand thinking and drive action from the executive level to the front line. I develop critical thinkers, empower them to make decisions, and hold them accountable. I seek a senior role in Business, Brand, or Product Management, Product Development, or Strategy / Innovation delivering differentiated strategy and customer-empathetic solutions.CliftonStrengths: Belief | Strategic | Ideation | Learner | Futuristic
