Executive, director, consultant, writer, mover-and-shaker.
As CFO/Chief Visionary & Strategist, I helped transform a traditional industrial motor repair shop into the regional leader in IIoT-based remote monitoring, reliability-based maintenance.
I built the finance and administration functions from scratch, handling banking, accounting, insurance, employee benefits, legal and marketing – quick study and life-long learner, adaptive disrupter and hands-on make-it-happen operator.
Combined with the prior 20 years in corporate communications, investor relations, media relations and writing, I offer a unique package of multi-disciplinary knowledge and experience; backed by strong leadership and management skills; delivering big-picture vision, insightful analysis, effective strategizing/planning, creative problem-solving and impactful communications; fueled by unflagging drive.
