United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a versatile and results-driven executive with over 24 years of leadership experience across finance, operations, and team development. My lifelong passion for hockey and youth mentorship complements my professional journey, where I have built and scaled organizations, raised capital, and led high-performance teams. I bring a unique blend of business acumen and coaching experience, ready to innovate and drive long-term vision in sports organizations and athletic programs.
Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Chief Financial Officer at Virage Capital Management, where I oversee financial and operational functions. As the founder of Fortify Advisors, I advised clients on growth strategies, skills that are directly transferable to managing athletic programs. My experience as a youth hockey coach emphasizes my commitment to player development and fostering high-character environments built on leadership and teamwork.
