Managing Partner, Operations
Greater New York City Area
The question that you need to ask yourself at the end of everyday is "what value did I add today?" If you cannot answer this, then you need to find a new career. Being effective is about adding value every single day. It is about making a difference. It does not matter if you are the CEO, a line manager, a designer, or part of the cleaning crew.
I am a seasoned marketing, technology and operations executive with extensive professional services and advertising experience. I specialize in making complex things simple.
