I excel at leading diverse teams to achieve outstanding results in elegant ways. To do this, I work with intensity, and at the same time I like my teams to have fun, balancing integrity, insight and humor in pursuit of value creation. I'm at my best when I can find a higher purpose in my work. This philosophy of curiosity and positive intent has allowed me to cultivate a broad set of skills, including strategic vision and planning, innovation, sales strategy, change enablement, operational excellence, risk management, governance, government relations and growth, that I have applied on a global scale for nearly 30 years. A published author and frequent speaker, I have been recognized as one of the most powerful and influential business leaders by Virginia Business Magazine and one of the best and brightest Executive MBAs in the world by Poets&Quants Magazine.
