EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABOUT
Servant Leader
Passion-People-Purpose
I am passionate about people, leaders, and the vision behind why we do what we do. “People will do for a what, they will give their lives for a why.” (Craig Groeschel)
Developing Leaders
Leadership is the ability to influence others. “When the leaders get better, the whole team gets better.” (John C. Maxwell)
Driving Culture
Great culture is created intentionally. It is created through consistent communication, demonstration, and trust. “If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.” (Richard Branson)
Creating Collaboration
The foundation of great results starts with great collaboration. When we listen, value diversity, and make room for creativity we create the potential for amazing results.
Streamlining & Automating
Everybody wants to do amazing things! Unfortunately, inefficient processes and manual-repeatable work holds them back. I drive process streamlining and automation, eliminating these hindrances, unlocking amazing results.
Cybersecurity
Every information security action starts with understanding the business, the organization, and their risk, ascertaining the risk appetite of the board, owners and executive leadership, and empowering that team to make the right investment decisions to protect the company.
