I am a seasoned and proven leader with broad executive-level experience in the areas of strategic planning, operations, human resources, organizational change management, business transformation, process improvement, information systems, accounting and finance, risk management and compliance. I have led a variety of projects and initiatives that have improved the effectiveness of the organization. Over the years, I have followed the principles of continuous improvement (Kaizen) and innovation, striving to grow and to not be complacent or satisfied with the status quo. I believe that change is a way of life and it is better to be seen as part of the solution and not part of the problem.I am an analytical, detail-oriented, pragmatic, strategic thinker who takes a collaborative approach to addressing issues and solving problems. I am able to move quickly from 'big picture' to the finest of details, connecting the dots along the way. Using an integrated thought process, I blend ideas, I welcome complexity and I strive to look at as many solutions as possible. ("Nothing is so embarrassing as seeing someone do something that you said could not be done!")When coaching, I encourage leaders to move outside their comfort zone in order for them to reach a higher level of self-awareness or to determine a solution to a difficult problem.As a business professional, I strive to take my work seriously while not taking myself too seriously. Guess what...it's ok to have fun at work!
