Bio

As an accomplished executive, I have been a key contributor in creating record revenue, profit, market share, and shareholder value for startup, early-stage, and rapidly growing telecom technology, SaaS, CaaS, IoT, and UCaaS businesses within entrepreneurial, midsize, and Fortune 500 organizations. Some of my colleagues have been interested in learning about my background as a Division I athlete. Those who know me well understand the connection this experience has to my passion for leadership, teamwork, a commitment to excellence, and the ability to thrive in the midst of change and ambiguity. My leadership progression has a foundation in my entrepreneurial spirit and passion for emerging technology. I draw upon these strengths in my role as a trusted advisor to C-level management, boards of directors, investors, business unit heads, end users, and other stakeholders in defining/communicating vision for dynamic expansion, organic and inorganic growth, and acquisition. I am also a valued resource to senior executive teams in developing overall sales strategy, market share, budgets, forecasts, and financial performance objectives. Drawing upon this background, I have taken a pivotal general and P&L management role in the launch of a new-to-the-world business concept that now represents $400M+ of annual revenue, the positioning of several companies for successful acquisition, and award-winning team performance that moved companies from market entry to global market leadership. Highly skilled in senior-level management, sustainable revenue generation, M&A, shareholder value creation, advanced telecom technologies, new business development, strategy creation and execution, deal structuring and negotiations, global market development, team development and performance, product and service commercialization, relationship/alliance management, startups, turnarounds, and rapid growth.
