Experience

   Feb 2025 — Present

   At Vision Point Capital, I help business owners answer one of the most important questions of their careers: “Is an ESOP the right fit for me, my company, and my legacy?”As Director of ESOP Consulting, I work directly with owners, leadership teams, and their advisors to guide them through the early stages of ESOP education, readiness, and strategy. My role is part educator, part strategist, and part sounding board.and yes, I’ve been called the “ESOP therapist” more than once.Here’s what that looks like in practice- Helping business owners explore employee ownership as a succession strategy that rewards their people and protects what they’ve built- Leading companies through Vision Point Capital’s proven ESOP readiness and feasibility process- Collaborating with legal, financial, and operational advisors to deliver objective, actionable insights- Speaking at conferences, roundtables, and private peer groups to demystify ESOPs and empower better decision-making- Advocating for the power of employee ownership to create more resilient companies, stronger communities, and lasting legacies.If you\'re a business owner curious about how ESOPs work, or trying to decide if you\'re ready to take the next step, I\'m always happy to have a candid conversation designed to give you the information you need.
