I have driven successful and profitable IT and business operations by design, building, and deploying systems and/or processes. I have developed projects for Microsoft, Holland & Knight law firm, RSM McGladrey, and the National Retail Federation among others. I have also advised doctoral students and taught graduate students in leadership.

I am a transitional leader, successfully guiding organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, through change processes, structures and systems.

I excel at bringing together the perfect combinations of talent to create effective teams. I help release the best contributions from others. I seek frequent, highly energetic interactions and love to connect with diverse groups of people on a variety of initiatives. I am also a catalyst for new ways of thinking.

- When I look at the world, I see beneath the surface, to the patterns underneath. I am intrigued by patterns.

- I think in terms of possibilities.

- I am a multiplier, always trying to put two things together to make something bigger and better than it is now.

- My chief impact is through my sense of what could be.

- I create culture change because I bring people together in order to get something done.

- I am a researcher of facts, technologies and products.

I am an articulate communicator and active listener with ability to collaborate with internal/external customers and third party vendors to understand big picture and transform into change opportunities and actionable tasks.

My doctoral work focused on integration multiple disciplines to develop a process for behavioral change. I have adapted that process to organizations by applying chaos theory to the change process.

I have also graduate work in Communications, focusing on image, signs and story in organizational change.
