LEADING PROFITABILITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, TECHNOLOGY, AND INSIGHTFUL BUSINESS DECISIONS

About

For more than 20 years, I’ve led organizations through insightful decisions based on sharp analyses and a keen understanding of the market, industry trends, and value creation. I bring a deep understanding of organizational design, optimal investment framework, sales and participant targeting, client-facing roles and intentional change management to drive value and an exceptional experience for internal partners, clients and shareholders.

My experience is rooted in financial and data analysis, business modeling, operational process and execution and strategic investment to drive growth across the financial services, pharmaceutical, and technology product industries.

Collaborative

A roll-up-your-sleeves and proven relationship-driven leader and engagement partner. Committed to understanding diverse perspectives and building trust through listening and a collaborative team approach.

Problem Solver

A fair and creative thinker that utilizes strategic decision-making by simplifying complex concepts and providing leaders with synthesized data and information, leading to actionable results.

Analytical

Improves the use of data capture practices and strategic insights using an incubator approach, consisting of rapid development, systems and modeling, deep engagement, and efficacy analysis of early results to indicate directional success.

Results Driven

Communicate success through story-telling and influential communications to align tactical activities of “what we do” to business outcomes and individual behaviors to “how we do it” to drive optimal performance and the ultimate client experience.
