EXPERTISE
I'M A LEADER
Whether it was a publicly traded company, a privately financed and privately held company, or a national non-profit, my leadership experience as a CEO is deep and broad. Servant leadership is my default as I believe a leader must be willing to work at every level of the organization in order to truly lead with passion and strategic insight.
I'M A BUILDER
Revenue growth has been a consistent theme for the results I have delivered in leadership. Growth requires vision, discipline, innovation, and inspiration in order to deliver bottom-line results. Growth powers and enables the mission, vision and core values of any organization.
I'M AN INNOVATOR
"That's the way we've always done it" is a recipe for failure. Understanding the "why" of the organization's mission, and engineering innovative solutions and paths to accomplishing that mission is mandatory in today's increasingly complex and competitive landscape. Dream big and follow your dream with passion.
