Seeking a challenging role that utilizes strategic leadership skills and experience in business development, operations management, team leadership, change management, and continuous improvement.

As a seasoned business development professional with a strong background in strategic direction and transformational leadership, I have a proven track record of achieving organizational goals and driving growth. With expertise in areas such as intra/entrepreneurial initiatives, human-capital improvement, and relationship building, I have successfully directed large-scale domestic and international projects across various industries.

My experience spans multiple roles, including Program Director, Operations Manager, and Principal of my own consulting firm. I have a strong ability to hire, steer, and empower cross-functional teams, and I am well-versed in fostering a culture of continuous improvement, diversity, and inclusion. My expertise in data-driven analysis, operational excellence, and strategy development has enabled me to drive business growth and improvement in various organizations.

I hold a Ph.D. in International Relations, Technology Policy, and have completed multiple master's degrees in Global Finance, Economic Integration, and International Business. My educational background, combined with my professional experience, has equipped me with a unique understanding of the complexities of global business and the importance of strategic planning, leadership, and teamwork.
