About
Demonstrated success in driving cross-functional business initiatives, maximizing revenue and profitability. Known for distilling strategy into action.
I effectively develop and execute strategic initiatives while preparing high-growth and tech organizations for scale. I anticipate outcomes and generate accountability, removing the painful gaps between strategy and execution. I build systems and processes resulting in high-performance environments.
I've grown businesses 415% while leading day-to-day operations, strategic planning and management, engineering, manufacturing, product development, marketing, finance, human resources, IT, legal, contracts, procurement, M&A, and business development.
I've led the innovation and product development of SMEIR, an offensive and defensive cyber information warfare training environment (SaaS), while landing key wins $60M+ in strategic customer sets.
It’s not easy. Outperforming competitors, while growing exponentially, is a unique skill.
