I’m a seasoned executive and people leader who blends an extroverted personality with fanatical attention to detail and follow-through.

  • What I Bring to the Table

    I am an advisor, coach, confidant and co-pilot to small business CEOs and founders, having reported directly to a founder/CEO on 17 occasions, and having served as a CEO/founder on 4 occasions.

    With 34 years of professional experience serving 62 employers or clients across 10 industry sectors, from start-up firms to Fortune 50 enterprises and across 4 continents, I pride myself in consistently delivering strong business results in support of an organization’s most pressing or strategic business opportunities and challenges.

    Consider me your trusted “right-hand” in a Business Coach, COO, Chief of Staff or EOS™ Integrator capacity, on either a fractional or full-time basis. With me you can stop worrying about the details, focus more time ON your business than IN your business, and elevate yourself to new levels of productivity and success.

    Throughout my career I’ve been blessed to have been exposed to and built a strong foundation in what I consider to be the 3 key pillars of any solid operating model: sales, delivery and operations. I enjoy working with executives and helping them get their firms “running like a Swiss train station” – predictable, reliable, scalable, and continually learning, adapting, and growing.

    Stylistically, I blend an extroverted and charismatic personality with fanatical attention to detail and follow-through. I am…
