I have done a lot in my career. My focus has always been on building companies through a mix of long term strategy and short burst “tactical” pushes. Tactical growth uses insights gained from KPI analysis, market research, and client conversion and retention to orchestrate short bursts, usually a single quarter in length, of accelerated growth framed by steady manageable consistent growth. This technique has proven across a broad range of industries to produce incredible results while not burning out team members or leadership.

Universal Expertise

With a talent for building and mentoring high-performing teams, I apply my personal philosophy to maintaining a work environment that is focused on that team growing and excelling together. This creates an incredible pipeline of leadership and talent. That talent pool leads to greater ideas, greater company growth and innovation, and ultimately much greater profitability. I truly believe in helping team members achieve their goals, grow their expertise, then continuing to build a desire to stay with the company.
