My career began in Commercial Construction, where I honed my skills as a Switchgear Specialist, representing industry-leading Eaton products. This foundational experience equipped me with deep technical knowledge and a customer-centric approach to sales and service.In 2007, I pivoted to the burgeoning Renewables industry, recognizing its transformative potential. In 2008, I founded Wesco Renewables, building the business from the ground up to over $300 million in revenue through entirely organic growth. This achievement underscored my ability to identify market opportunities, execute strategic plans, and deliver results at scale.Following this success, I served as Senior Vice President at the largest publicly traded EPC in the United States, where for three years I drove operational excellence and strategic initiatives in the renewable energy space. My leadership continued at Graybar, where I took on the role of U.S. Sales Manager for Renewables. Starting from zero, I grew the division to over $300 million in revenue within six years, achieving profitability in the first year—a testament to my strategic foresight and ability to build high-performing teams.My expertise spans electrical distribution, renewable energy, product and manufacturing processes, and large-scale project execution. I am adept at mentoring teams, crafting winning strategies, and navigating complex market dynamics to achieve sustainable growth. My deep industry knowledge, combined with a passion for fostering innovation and collaboration, positions me uniquely to guide organizations toward market leadership.Currently, I am pursuing board positions where I can leverage my experience to help companies grow, innovate, and succeed in competitive markets. My focus is on empowering organizations to scale effectively, optimize operations, and seize opportunities in the rapidly evolving Electrical Distribution and Renewables sectors.
