KEY SKILLS

Executive Sales
Operations
Project Management
Client Management
Audit Support
IT Security
I was in the leadership teams that built successful industry specific MSP’s from early stage (less than a small conference room) to the 25- million-dollar revenue mark (both InfoHedge and RFA at the time I left). Large portions of the client based were either sourced by me or closed by my hand. I was responsible for 100% of the retention at both firms. I worked to create referral streams with Banks Prime Brokers and industry advisors.
Client Relations
I was the representative for clients Operational Due Diligence and or Audits by either the SEC, FINRA or their investors. I was able to make prescriptive best practice advisement that lead to both enhanced sales and client retention by providing trusted advisement.
