CONSULTANT, BUSINESS STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT, RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT, THOUGHT LEADER
Strategic, multifaceted business professional offering extensive, in-depth experience developing relationships and solutions for top-tier U.S. services institutions. Strong evaluation and planning skills, as well as expert management of corporate development activities. Entrepreneurial approach to drive improved business results through analysis and process improvements.
Core Competencies:
A mentoring session is a confidential, personalized conversation with a business expert to answer a question or to solve a problem that you’re facing.
As an entrepreneur, I have experienced the highs and lows of owning my own business and I understand the stress, financial commitment, and dedication it takes to do this. I fumbled through the early stages alone and hope to prevent others from making the same mistakes. I am comfortable with helping all phases of a small business but I particularly enjoy developing a frictionless e-commerce site, marketing, logistics, product development, retail product placement, and media relations (including an appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank).
My background will assist clients in all aspects of manufacturing including safety, environmental, risk management, quality management, cost control and budgeting, key metric score carding, financial decision making, capital planning and execution, constraint and bottleneck throughout management, reliability, waste and energy reduction, talent acquisition and retention, and leadership and succession development.
Fear is the number one thing that holds us back from success and keeps the majority of the working population chained to a job they don’t love. This is what sets entrepreneurs apart. While everyone has fears, it is how you deal with your fear that makes a difference.
As a small business owner, it can be difficult to determine the true potential of an idea when you’re examining its pros and cons within the echo chamber of your own mind.
30+ years of experience in all aspects of business and manufacturing operations. Successfully led multiple organizational turnarounds and expansions in small and large organizations. Founded and led a small manufacturing company for 16 years with a successful business transition.
Starting a business is hard. Growing one is even harder. Throughout my career, mentors helped me identify the next right step. I can help you figure out where you want to go and how you can get there. Whether you are adding your first employee or your 20th employee, I can help you select and develop the right people to build your business. I can also help you identify the tools and processes that will keep your business running smoothly.
