I can help businesses identify continuous improvement strategies, improve their processes and generate ideas that help maximize their efforts with the lowest possible costs.

I can help you turn your business ideas and challenges into positive business outcomes. I am a good listener - if you are starting, buying, growing or selling a business then I can help you frame your problem statements and work together to create a plan of action and to find solutions. I am a former aerospace industry corporate executive, a former professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at a top business school and currently a small business owner. My degrees are in engineering and business administration.

Sales (Cash) and more Sales along with Market Research, Marketing, Digital Marketing, Product Development, Business Plan, Manufacturing, Management, and How to start a Business are key areas that I specialize in. Over a 35 year experience with Start-ups, Small, and Fortune 500 Companies. Good ideas need structure and execution. Looking forward to helping you in initiating your Start-up and if you have an established Business grow it.

I can help clients think outside the box. My strengths include problem solving, critical thinking and creating a positive mindset.

I can help you learn about doing business with the Federal Government as a prime and as a sub-contractor to a prime or large OEM. I can help navigate the necessary ISO and AS standards for manufacturing and what is needed to do business in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry. I can assist with the Federal small business certification types (ie. WOSB, EDWOSB, SDB, SDVOSB and HUBZone). Also, I can help you develop a strategy to engage with prime or key subcontractors.

Owner of small business in professional engineering, advised small business owners in ownership transitions, trained as engineering scientist and technologist, experience with many manufacturing and supply businesses.

If you are an existing business, I can assist you with identifying cash flow issues, evaluate your business structure and operations, navigate government regulations, and evaluate funding sources for growth and expansion. If you’re just getting started, I can help you evaluate your business ideas, identify strategic and tactical plans to develop them, and provide you with the guidance and resources to help you start and grow your business.

With 30+ years of experience in business and operations, across 6 different industries working for companies ranging in size from large Fortune 50 companies to small companies that are privately held, or private equity backed, I have witnessed the struggles of running a successful business to include but not limited to organizational design, cashflow, cost management, tight labor markets, and poor topline growth. That is why I have chosen to mentor with SCORE.
