When I think of my most formative experiences what comes to mind first and foremost is my lifelong love of soccer and the lessons that it instilled in me. Over the years I played on top state, regional and national teams. After an international tournament my sophomore year of high school, I was recruited to a professional team in France. I attended university on a soccer scholarship and subsequently started a soccer camp. It was through soccer that I learned the value of teamwork and leadership and trust in my and those around me. These are life lessons relevant in just about any personal or professional situation. Today I apply those insights in accelerating top and bottom lines in B2B / B2C consumer electronics, medical, and telecommunication markets. I am recognized for seeing the big picture, crafting high yield go-to-market strategies, and executing through top performing teams. I excel in managing multi-million-dollar P&Ls, mergers and acquisitions, and sales to private equity and strategic buyers, as well as elevating profitability, revenue, supply chain and brand impact. Through strategic thinking, agility and marketing knowhow with emotional intelligence, positive attitude and passion for building, leading, and inspiring teams I deliver in key areas.
