I foster growth, competitiveness, funding and financial performance by applying clear vision, articulating product market fit, strategic planning, and focused business acumen. Equally important, I form, inspire, and motivate teams dedicated to producing successful outcomes. Together, we start up, we brand, we market, we grow and we turn around organizations to achieve optimal business performance. All this within a culture that supports individual needs to accomplish.
