Dynamic and proven leader who adds value to an organization, especially an industry disruptor, is facing tough headwinds, or is in distress. I am that steady hand every organization wants to have on its team especially if it were facing a crisis. I can examine a challenge, identify necessary changes and implement solutions.It was my privilege to serve my nation and retire as a Navy captain (O-6).

I am well-suited to serve on a board or in an advisory role. If necessary, I can step-in and become a crisis manager. I can also assume the public face if an organization needs to calm or reassure partners, investors, clients or the public. I develop robust communications and public relations strategies to guide an organization in need of positive messaging or to implement a turnaround plan. I can assist in restructuring to achieve the highest value of the workforce and systems, and to guide the organization toward profitability.
