Over 25 years management experience in international business and consumer products across diverse industries and over 10 diverse product categories. A creative thinking style with an ability to be innovative and imaginative; a change agent that will solve problems. Very goal oriented, ambitious, and self motivated. Confident, personable, and a decisive leader that gets results. Creates consumer based value while being guided by a strong focus on the customer, their expectations, and unmet needs.
I foster innovative thinking in a wide variety of settings. Throughout my career, I have fused my curious nature with skillful analysis, and established a reputation for distinguishing exceptional ideas from the merely good ones.
I possess an unusual perspective on innovation. I'm fortunate to have experienced it from every angle – as a creator, thought leader, manager, key decision-maker and end user. For me, Innovation is a never-ending journey of discovery and progress. This makes me uniquely adept at sustaining this journey for myself while simultaneously leading others on their paths.
