Bio
Executive with Deep Technology Experience:
Seasoned executive known for revenue growth, mobile product development, building and running highly functional teams:
“I enjoy helping companies win. In today’s complex world where technology is the differentiator AND the underpinning of any company, it is critical that the modern competitive team stays on top of innovation. Technology has the ability to catapult revenues – but successful companies have to protect the core value proposition while simultaneously building for the future. This may include mobile and cloud development offering, or it may include strategic M&A. It may require organizational changes to embrace the new challenges. But in all ways – it requires active leadership and effective business and executive acumen.
I am able to “talk business” and “speak geek” fluently and am as comfortable in the board room working on corporate strategy as I am leading cross functional development teams, both domestic and abroad. I am passionate about technology and leading technical people, from incubations to stable growth industries. Mobile is eating the world – and this is where I am deploying the majority of my energy.
If I can be of help to your organization, please drop me a line.
