I have lead initiatives and objectives ranging from: * Development of new product and service offerings * Propelling growth, revenue generation and strategic partnership development * Cultivation of C level relationships * Team leadership of cross functional departments * Development of process improvement and go to market strategy * Multiple re-brands * Cabinet and Executive Team member * Lead in new business pitching, client engagement and speaking opportunities * Re-organization of department and team structure * Public and media relations I enjoy creating solutions for clients and earning trust through delivery. I love the big idea's but also enjoy digesting it into true value for the end user in terms of how does it help meet the desired goals and objectives. I'm married to my best friend Ally and I "inherited" her Maltese Shih-Tzu, Jasper upon marriage (my excuse for having a dog that is often found in outfits). I love to travel when we can find time and anything involving our two kids.
