Totally Obsessed with Helping Others Succeed
My career has been an incredible journey filled with some of the most talented people and the most challenging scenarios imaginable. Every moment seemed to build on the prior, and the learning has never stopped. After a particularly grueling turnaround stretch which culminated in becoming the CEO of a NASDAQ publicly traded company and positioning the company for sale, I knew it was time I set out on my own.
For the past seven plus years, I have helped others realize their business objectives as an Interim CEO, Fractional Executive and Business Counselor. I bring three decades of sales, management and organizational leadership experience with an emphasis on technology, software development, sales strategies, client service models, efficiency enhancement and general management.
Assisting companies with pragmatic business advisory services in either a full time or project basis is what I’m most passionate about.
Areas Of Expertise
Business rescue + turnaround
Turnaround moments come along for most businesses at one point or another and I find them amongst the most exciting endeavors one can undertake in the business world. Whether it be cultural and morale problems, cost challenges, or changes in strategic direction, orchestrating a rescue or a turnaround is a unique moment in time. We’ve been there.
Process improvement
It is extremely rare to come across a method or process that cannot be improved, and improved substantially. It begins with identifying three or four key business drivers that can be measured and quantified and developing a plan to improve those metrics. Correcting software defects, improving flow-thru at a manufacturing facility, implementing preferred vendor campaigns, speeding up collections, designing client service models and developing sales processes are a few examples of process improvement scenarios where we have driven results.
AdVISORY AND COUNSEL
“I can’t see the forest for the trees!” It happens to everyone at some point. Sometimes, the people in charge know what needs to be done, they just can’t get started. Other times, they can’t see the end goal and keep trying the same tried and true approaches with little to show for their pain and effort. I have taken great pleasure in providing counsel to business owners and their teams on the most pragmatic paths to success.
