I am an experienced senior executive with more than three decades of experience successfully starting, leading, managing, buying/selling and owning businesses. While I have worked across multiple industries in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors (including Technology, Professional Services and Education), my work has always focused on leveraging technology, operating discipline and strategic investment to drive sustainable growth and margin expansion.Over the course of my career, I have led the build-out of a successful start-up that went public during the dot-com era, managed large operating groups, engineered domestic and international acquisitions, founded and managed a strategic advisory firm, and served for more than a decade as the CEO of an organization in the education sector. Additionally, having personally coached and mentored more than three hundred college students in the areas of business and entrepreneurship, I am considered a thought leader in training and preparing the next generation of business leaders.At CEO Coaching International, I work with CEOs and leadership teams to define bold goals, identify roadblocks, and implement the systems and strategies needed to scale effectively. Whether it’s optimizing performance, navigating leadership transitions, or aligning multi-generational teams, I bring a direct, results-driven approach rooted in firsthand executive experience. My focus is on helping leaders gain clarity and stay disciplined on the actions that truly move the business forward.Let’s connect.
