With 35 years'; experience in small companies and large publicly held corporations, I have a broad range of business experience to aid small businesses and entrepreneurs. My last position was Chief Strategy Officer for a $40 million consultancy providing transformation consulting globally. Prior to that I was VP of Buildings in Saudi Arabia for one of the largest publicly held engineering firms in the world managing a staff of 150 architects and engineers on large scale projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Prior to that I was the national K-12 market leader responsible for educational and facility assessments and program management/construction management services for the education market. With that I was a nationally recognized subject matter expert frequently speaking to small and large conference audiences. I founded and successfully ran my own business with three partners for 15 years and sold that business to a large engineering firm in 2010. During this time, I led development of a server-based enterprise wide SQL software platform for facility assessment and capital project planning that is still in use today. Prior to starting my firm, I spent ten years providing strategic planning and facilities consulting services to the built environment at the world's largest publicly held architecture firm. This broad experience profile has enabled me to live and work in 30 different countries with a broad exposure to global business and culture. My skills include just about every aspect of business operation from forming corporations to managing operations, and includes sales and marketing, information technology, systems management, venture capital, finance, general and administrative cost management, risk management, human resources, digital marketing, and consulting services. Most recently, I have successfully developed my own mobile application now available in the IOS and Android app stores. This application, www.resto-rat.com, is a robust mobile application supporting the automobile collector and restoration enthusiast. Funding, conceptualizing, and directing the development of the application along with all of the supporting infrastructure has given me a great deal of depth into mobile applications, digital marketing, social media promotion, and the web infrastructure necessary to support a mobile application approved through the app stores.
