What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can drive revenue and operational improvements through strategic planning, AI-driven insights, and scalable processes in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a growth-focused business leader with over 20 years of experience delivering revenue expansion, operational transformation, and channel performance across consulting, technology, and nonprofit sectors.

As a consultant and former general manager and director, I have advised 80+ organizations, led cross-functional teams, implemented AI-driven analysis and financial modeling, and overseen P&L responsibilities to improve profitability and enterprise value.

I excel at aligning executive stakeholders, designing scalable systems, and executing change management initiatives that produce measurable business impact, including securing major nonprofit funding and developing technology-enabled products and processes.
