"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." This quote, attributed to Peter Drucker, is one of the most important things I have learned in my career. I am a seasoned business executive with 15+ years of high-growth strategy and performance expertise in a diverse range of sectors including logistics, product development, financial technology, software, real estate and non-profit. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for improving process efficiency and success, as well as for creating high quality, collaborative teams and strengthening client relationships, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company and team growth and alignment throughout my career. Professional focal points include Culture and Goal Alignment, Strategic Planning, Team Leadership and Development. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, organizational skills as well as business acumen, systems analysis, project management, strategic planning, resource management and empathy to support teams and their goals. Most recently, I was the General Manager and Chief Strategy Officer with Global Product Sources. Under my leadership, I devised and implemented strategies and execution plans tailored to each business unit, including business and product development, financial performance, operational efficiency and work-flow processes and procedures. I also successfully translated strategy into actionable goals for performance and growth, helping to implement organization-wide goal setting utilizing the OKR framework, as well as vertical and horizontal team alignment, performance management, and annual operations planning. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and employees to ensure the company’s overall growth support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as an empathic leader, driven, down-to-earth, detail oriented and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver tangible results on time and under budget while putting the mission, vision and values of the organization and its team first. I am pursuing new opportunities and can be reached through this profile.
