How I Can Help You

I'm here to guide you through the complexities of business operations, strategic planning, and navigating the intricacies of government contracting and IT services. With a distinguished 33-year career in the US Air Force, culminating as a Major General, I've led large-scale operations in the Intelligence and Military sectors, notably as the Director of Intelligence for US Forces in Europe and as Commander overseeing 16,000 dedicated personnel in US Air Force Intelligence operations.
What I Offer:
• Business Strategy & Operations: Leveraging my military background, I offer insights into effective organizational leadership and operational efficiency, ensuring your business stays ahead in dynamic markets.
• Government Contracting Expertise: With deep knowledge in government regulations and contracting, I'll help you navigate federal procurement processes, ensuring your business capitalizes on government opportunities.
• IT Services Strategy: My two decades at Oracle as Vice President of Strategic Government Operations equipped me with the expertise to guide your IT strategies, ensuring they align with both commercial and government sectors.
• Leadership & Board Experience: Serving on the Board of Directors for AFIO and advising institutions like Fordham University, I bring leadership skills and strategic oversight to your business endeavors.
A Bit About Me: Post-military, I transitioned to a pivotal role at Oracle, shaping strategies for engaging with key stakeholders in the government and commercial spheres. My experiences have endowed me with a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, government, and business.
Let's Connect: If you're seeking a mentor with a wealth of experience in strategic planning, government interactions, and IT services, I'm eager to support your journey to success.
