About
As President of The Americas at Avanade, I’m proud to lead the sales, delivery and operations of Avanade’s largest business – guiding the work of nearly 5,000 IT professionals in the United States, Brazil and Canada. Since joining Avanade in 2003, I’ve had the opportunity to grow from being a solution architect to leading Avanade’s operations in Europe before coming to my current role. I have lived and worked in multiple cities on two continents. I hold a degree in computer science from Northern Illinois University, and, in my free time, you can catch me working on my golf game or acting as family chauffer for my two teenage kids.

Here's what to do when the best-laid business plans of leadership and teams suddenly go awry. For many business leaders and their teams, the month of August is an essential time for them to assess how the first half of the year went. Are the current strategies that they have in place really working? It's also a time to set (or reset) their goals and objectives for the upcoming year. Keeping all that in mind, sometimes plans, unfortunately, fall by the wayside or may require some unexpected tweaking depending on external factors like market conditions, customer needs, or technological innovation. That's why it's important to remain flexible and have an open mind about how to pivot correctly when necessary, considering the current situation of your department or organization. Here, 16 Fast Company Executive Board members offer their solutions to help other business leaders and teams stay focused even when their initial plans begin to get sidetracked or fail altogether.
