Experience

1. Chief Executive Officer

   People USA

   Oct 1999 — Present · Poughkeepsie, NY, US

   In this role, I direct all aspects of the organization including 25 programs, a $7M budget, and over 90 employees and volunteers. I’m accountable for strategic planning, human resources, program development and leadership, finance management, regulatory compliance, and services. I also work closely with the Board of Directors in policy development. In addition to my administrative responsibilities, I serve as a National Subject Matter Expert for the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (Federal Dept.) on Crisis Response Services and Criminal Justice Services. Some of my biggest wins include: • An increase in operational revenue for PEOPLe Inc. from $383K to $7M through effective fundraising, grant writing, and financial planning. • Design and implementation of the first Crisis Stabilization Center in Northeast United States, providing an effective alternative to emergency room visits. • Planning and execution of Hospital Diversions Respites that reduce recidivism and achieve an average of $4M in savings per house. • Development of behavioral health crisis alternatives for hospitals and forensics, creating an integrated system of care which includes CIT training for local police departments. • A reduction in recidivism rates through the development of a transition process from hospital discharge which effectively utilizes transition specialist teams in the hospital and surrounding community.
