About
As President of Avanade North America, I’m proud to lead the sales, delivery and operations of Avanade’s largest business – guiding the work of nearly 4,000 IT professionals in the United States and Canada. In my nearly 20 years with Avanade, 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.

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.

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.
