20 years of executive leadership throughout an array of products from cyber warfare software to space infrastructure, and services from professional expertise to human spaceflight, allow me to quickly and effectively grow any organization.

I've led operations and program management for several of the DoD's largest and most complex mission critical programs and installations. I've effectively managed and scaled operations across the globe.

I've institutionalized strategy, implemented ERPs, resolved long-standing product and service delivery issues, established lean processes and procedures, created dashboards, and brought products - as well as companies - to market.

I've managed every functional area within a company, including strategic planning and strategy management.
