An accomplished and nationally recognized expert in the contract workforce market; I launched MBO Partners as a business that would re-invent the way independent consultants and organizations work together. MBO Partners is a major force in the development of best practices, risk mitigation programs, and independent contractor engagement tools that support workplace independence. I am an entrepreneur who graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Economics (BSE). After four years with KPMG Peat Marwick as a CPA and management consultant, I spent over 20 years building, merging and selling various consulting companies, some funded by financial luminaries Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Austin Ventures and Goldman Sachs. I have served on the expert advisory board for the Human Capital Institute and collaborated with other industry leaders to create and develop the Contract Talent Research Practice Area at HCI, furthering education, ethics, and industry best practices.
