What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic leadership and offers opportunities for impactful growth and community engagement.

I am a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, strategy, and operations across various sectors including healthcare, automotive, and media. My military background as an Army veteran has instilled in me a unique blend of precision and business acumen, enabling me to consistently deliver revenue growth of 10-25% and secure over $40 million in funding. I am committed to leveraging my cross-functional leadership skills and market-entry analysis to drive organizational success.

Throughout my career, I have directed high-stakes M&A processes, spearheaded negotiations for joint ventures, and led teams to optimize operations and enhance service delivery. My recent role as Associate Director at ANA Investment Advisory involved securing significant government funding and leading cross-border negotiations, showcasing my ability to navigate complex business landscapes. I am passionate about creating impactful strategies that not only drive growth but also improve community access to essential services.
