Founder

“For over 20 years, I have been privileged to be a CEO running several companies. My experience ranges from launching startups based in the United States, Canada, and Luxembourg to operating corporations with $60M+ in annual revenue. During this time, my family enjoyed living in Vancouver, Calgary, and New York City.

My fearless determination gave me the confidence to lead companies in finance and agriculture, as well as starting technology companies in healthcare, real estate, and human resources. This connected me with subject matter specialists representing a wide range of expertise. My biggest results were selling three companies, one privately and two to publicly traded entities.

I launched my first company after starting a family, doubling our mortgage, and leaving my job as a contract negotiator. Initially, I was ignorant sharing either too much or too little with my staff and being ill-prepared for formal discussions with my board. As CEO, I was creating new ideas and designing better strategies, however my insecurities were limiting my willingness to accept input from others.

I later realized that great CEOs leaned on key people they could trust on their board and management team for support or a broader perspective. I also learned that great leaders were consulting with outside confidants, who had considerable business experience, for guidance and injecting new thinking into resolving difficult issues. Knowing this earlier would have saved me unnecessary pain and made me a more effective leader.

My diverse experience gives me perspective and knowledge that is valuable to leaders who are looking to better understand their role and grow their business. Let’s set up a time to see if our discussions will help you be more self-assured, prepared, and ready to conquer. I am confident you will find our first meeting extremely insightful, and it won’t be our last.”
