About

My Journey

Strategy / Planning:  This is my passion – identifying opportunities within the marketplace and developing the plan that will achieve the desired results.  I have over 25 years of diverse experience developing and executing critical growth strategies that have resulted in significant incremental value.

Business Development / Strategic Relationships:  This is my natural orientation – to meet and engage executive leaders to identify their “unrecognized needs” and work collaboratively with their team to build effective operating plans that meet the needs of the organizations. 

Execution / Focused Metrics:  This is where the rubber meets the road – a strategic plan is only as good as the team’s ability to execute.  My planning process breaks down each initiative into manageable components where I set clear goals and objectives with established delivery dates and hold people accountable for the results.  I work cross-functionally to build consensus, aligning teams around achieving results.
