Lasting value.
Former Public Company CEO & Board Director
I'm a former public company CEO with decades of leadership across industrial, manufacturing, and technology-enabled businesses, including a $700M NASDAQ-listed company. I led enterprise transformation, global operations, and disciplined capital allocation that drove 5X revenue growth, a 10X increase in EBITDA, and $900M in added shareholder value. I bring a pragmatic governance perspective rooted in organic growth, strategic M&A, and patent development. I'm seeking board and advisory roles where strategic judgment, operational oversight, and a long-term value orientation support sustainable enterprise performance.
