As a visionary thinker, passionate change agent, and boots-on-the-groung leader, I have built a documented record of year-over-year achievements. With a broad background in operations, sales, marketing, and team leadership, I have a special ability to position companies for expanded business growth, ongoing profitability, and operational excellence. In particular, I have leveraged my expertise in building and expanding brands to meet revenue, customer, product, and market goals.

I have over 20 years of broad and diverse leadership experience that includes Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, and Director-level positions. When recruited and hired for a new position, my approach is customized for what the company needs, yet the pattern is often similar: create the vision for the success, gain consensus from team members for that vision, and develop specific, actionable plans for fulfillment. Often, this involves identifying gaps and roadblocks to improvement, then developing strategies for resolution.

I thoroughly enjoy making things happen by empowering team members to impact a company positively. Very little brings me more satisfaction than watching my teams excel in their positions, which is why I maintain an uncompromising focus on employee development.
