Strategic impact: It’s not a superpower, but it takes focus and hard work, and it’s my passion! As a strategic-thinking nonprofit servant leader, I direct resources to programs supporting mission-critical goals. My Advancement Team at Hearing Speech + Deaf Center planned and executed strategic innovations that grew revenue while balancing short-term needs and long-term strategies. The results grew funding for a core program 23X from 2019 to 2024. I’m deeply passionate about supporting our community. As Chief Investment Officer at a KeyBank affiliate from 2007 to 2014, I led a high-performing team responsible for a multi-billion portfolio through the Global Financial Crisis. My earlier career roles honed the skills I needed to succeed at that high-pressure task.My commitment to lifelong learning is unwavering. It’s not just a personal value but a professional necessity. My role on Xavier University’s faculty constantly exposes me to fresh approaches to problem-solving, flashy new tech, current trends and consumer behaviors, and a sharper awareness of developing social issues. This commitment ensures that I am always adapting and growing.Specialties: strategic planning, mission advancement, fundraising, financial leadership and budgeting, sustainable mission-focused growth, and organizational innovations.
