About

The hallmarks of my career have been innovation, servant leadership and commitment to building teams and businesses. As a native of Seattle and Northwest Washington, I enjoy what my home has to offer: snowboarding, sailing and the great outdoors. While Seattle will always be home, my work has taken me around the world. My innovative nature, coupled with my infectious positivity help me take clients to ground-breaking solutions and through challenging obstacles. Whether it's starting up a new business unit within a large company or launching a boot strapped startup, I've got great experience doing just about everything involved in operating and growing a business. My approach to decision-making is hybrid intuition/analytical. Strong EQ and communication skills make me highly effective in interpersonal situations.
