I love to learn about the ideas, passions, visions people have with respect to their businesses and take satisfaction in assisting with the challenges. I can help you with general business guidance such as evaluating ideas, putting together a business plan, business formation and capitalization options, identifying challenges, prioritizing activities, personnel planning, project management and finding additional educational or helpful external resources. I’ve taken a company through an entire life-cycle (startup, growth, IPO, public company, acquisitions, sale). I’ve worked as a manager in large, medium, and small businesses, primarily with technology or manufacturing related businesses. I have a broad business background and have worn many hats with skills in project management, product development, product management, product marketing, sourcing, production, engineering and quality assurance. I have a servant leader approach, embracing the tenets of listening, learning, trust, empathy, collaboration, foresight, and commitment to growth of others.
