Originally an electrical engineer building systems to defend our nation, I now guide digital transformations in retail, healthcare, and financial services to protect the bottom line. From Fortune 500 to founders of new companies, I’ve been privileged to experience how the scale of business can influence both the complexities and opportunities for innovation. Along the way it’s allowed me to work with teams of people across 4 continents and 18 countries, and to grow an appreciation for the value such diversity offers. I'm privileged also to mentor many aspiring entrepreneurs who quickly learn that business requires funding, thus entrepreneurs require understanding how investors think. Beneath it all I strive to lift people above the barriers that might hold them back, and equip them to succeed in this virtual, hybrid, digital world in which we live.
