...that the person you’ll work with to create the conditions for your success started off writing comedy. Not unexpectedly, it led to being an award-winning ad agency Creative Director. From there, very unexpectedly, I became COO of a tech company. We grew that one 10 times over.

Now I was a battle-proven business consultant. I jolted the President of a Japanese corporation into rethinking his management team approach. Herded a dozen CEO’s to work with government on a five-year injury prevention strategy. Then there was the time I churned out 70+ individual store business plans in six weeks. Delivering $35M in added revenue for a national retailer.

Start-ups and early stage companies have a special place in my heart. Many business plans written and deals done. My fav secured $40M in capital plus a line for another $60M. Next I was President of a Private Equity firm. Funded by one the partners who had cashed out from that start-up. More deals and crazy experiences. Like when the engine of a private charter we were flying caught fire. Although the news helicopters were there for a more "impactful" scoop, we lived.

I went on to work with many founders to guide their journeys. As well as seasoned leaders building their companies to the next level. I enjoyed roles as Country President for a global digital firm and COO of an early stage tech company. And of course, I keep working with great people to successfully start up, grow and sell companies.

The story continues. Maybe with you.
