About Me

I'm a strategist and problem-solver with over 20 years of experience passionate about uncovering opportunities and turning them into success stories.

I help businesses grow, transform, and adapt by leading strategy, mergers & acquisitions, and operations.

Along the way, I've enjoyed building strong teams, simplifying complex challenges, and creating solutions that make a lasting impact.
