At Work
I am an experienced global business leader with experience leading Marketing, Product management, and Sales functions. I have a successful track record of leading global organizations for Fortune 500 companies. The world is my office: every day, I wake up ready to work with teams around the globe to discover new ways to engage and delight customers. My passion is helping people thrive and achieve success. If you Treat Your Employees Like Volunteers, you can't help but succeed!
In my career, I have achieved success as an executive and business leader. I have extensive experience in marketing, strategy, and sales enablement across diverse markets from industrial to retail. I always enjoy engaging with people across the globe. I consistently build marketing and sales operations teams that deliver predicted results leveraging lean principles and analytics.
I believe that Imperfection Fuels Innovation. You must not only embrace the imperfect, but build systems that encourage it and make it identifiable. See the imperfections. Obsess over improvement and innovation.
Outside of Work
I am always on the go, trying to squeeze every drop of goodness I can out of life! I am a health and fitness junky, a speaker, a cuisinier, and an all-around family man. I have two children that keep me challenged and a wonder wife who keeps me focused.
Originally from the South Side of Chicago, I value hard work and brutal honesty. Having lived in the Charlotte, NC region since 2004, I’ve come to appreciate its beautiful weather, vibrant growing city, and cordial southern hospitality.
It sure is an adventure, managing a career as an executive who travels the world, building my own brand, and being the best father, husband, and friend I can be. I believe it is not about choosing between work and life but pursuing a healthy work-life integration to maximizing my whole self. I’ll admit it’s tough to do it all, but I do my best to remember that life is what happens between the events. It is about the journey, not the destination.
