I thrive working in the following areas:
Operations
I love setting up systems, operating manuals and building solutions to roadblocks. I’m great at making the trains run on time and live by the quote “prior preparation prevents poor performance”. I frequently serve as a fractional chief of staff to business owners
Innovation
Startups, entrepreneurship, innovation, disruption, acceleration, and incubation are not just buzzwords to me. Over the years I have reviewed thousands of companies for dozens of investors as well as corporates looking for the next big thing.
Revenue Generation
I’ve sold everything from single digits SaaS subscriptions up to mid six figure businesses and have learned what it takes to find, qualify and sell through a variety of channels including cold email, social media, content marketing and channel partnerships.
