With an exceptional background as a strategy and operations executive, transforming organizations, accelerating growth, and preparing companies for acquisition, I serve as a strategic problem solver and partner. Throughout my career, I have applied strong business and people acumen to identify cost, revenue, and margin opportunities across the business and coordinate with business owners to establish and drive the strategic vision. I develop go-to-market strategies and plans to execute strategic vision all the way down to day-to-day operations. I am highly regarded for my end-to-end involvement, driving constant operational improvement while hiring, training, and retaining top talent while cultivating a culture of accountability and empowerment. As a servant leader, I work towards the success of my team through regular leadership and one-on-one meetings. Some highlights from my extensive career include:● Devising a long-term strategic plan to maximize the value of Kwik Industries, by packaging 25 individually-owned and operated stores under a single umbrella and facilitating the acquisition by Full Speed Automotive.● Driving robust sales strategy, operational improvements, and employee training to consistently achieve 18% sales growth within the first 18 months of each acquisition. ● Earning a reputation for innovation, influencing immediate changes to turn around underperforming businesses by identifying cost, revenue, and margin opportunities in 15-year-old vendor and supplier contracts. Sourced and negotiated new contracts to boost profit margin from 8% to 32% while maintaining low prices to remain competitive.I value learning about new projects and connecting with other innovators in the operations space.
