He is an all around great guy who leads with passion and has the rare ability to see the world through other peoples eyes.” I started out my managerial career as a branch manager at We Care Health Services – London. In this role I took a struggling local business and within a year turned it into one of the strongest performing offices of its kind throughout the organization. My success with this role was based on 3 basic principles that still guide my management style today: 1) Have the right people doing the right jobs 2) Have a strong operational platform to deliver service 3) Be able to tell your story effectively After my success with the London operation I have continued to grow my career holding progressive management positions as follows: • National Manager of Health and Wellness • Director of Corporate Operations • Vice President of Marketing While I have had many accomplishments over the years in the above roles there are some highlights to note.
