The intuitive platform facilitates improvement initiatives by reinventing the way businesses capture, implement, measure, share, and organize improvement.

I believe that hard work and honesty are the cornerstones to business success and that helping others succeed is the best way to personal happiness. As such, I\'m committed to creating a dedicated, transparent team at KaiNexus, and I am dedicated to being an active mentor in the Austin community. I lead the sales, marketing, and customer experience efforts of KaiNexus. I am also fanatical about our culture. We are building a world-class organization to help our customers spread continuous improvement across their own cultures. Before KaiNexus, I spent three wonderful years as an enterprise sales director at Spredfast, helping clients create great social media experiences for their customers. I\'m also very motivated and grateful for my position on the board of advisors for an awesome local social media agency named Social Distillery. Last but not least, my favorite job is my role as the Vice President of Operations for a wonderful family of 5, even if there is no chance of a promotion in the future.
