I believe that every organization’s most valuable resource is the people who choose to invest a portion of their life to serve their customers. And that it is the leader’s responsibility to know these people and create the optimal environments for their growth and increasing contribution. \nI study the effects of systems and theories on people. And I am driven to help individuals identify their unique strengths and weaknesses\, understand how they fit into the goals and objectives of the company and then implement personal growth plans to build sustainable high performance. \nI absolutely love sales and have been acknowledged for my ability to consistently exceed performance expectations and grow markets aggressively. Winning the rookie of the year award with Cendant and growing revenue with Microsoft’s digital media team from $250\,000 to $14 million from 2000 through 2005. \nI have been honored to learn and grow as a sales leader in a variety of roles with Microsoft and Yahoo in the rapidly advancing digital media and technology space. While I am grateful for all the lessons learned during these years it has been my executive consulting work that has challenged me the most and enabled tremendous growth.
