Strategic. Innovative. Unflappable.        

Picture
Strategic (To Drive Growth)
I am energized by exploring, developing, and bringing to market cool new business ideas, and growing them to scalable maturity. I focus on building best-of-breed organizations, and marketing branded products & services through specific channels such as online, mobile, retail, and social media.

I am passionate about the customer experience - customers should be unexpectedly delighted when interacting with a company. It is a must for long-term growth of the brand.

Over my career, I have led growth initiatives at companies in consumer electronics, wireless products & services, and mobile technology. At Dell, I built a $1.2 billion consumer electronics & software division into a key growth engine for the company. In building e-commerce leader Monoprice's marketing organization to drive double-digit growth in traffic, revenue and profit, I utilized state-of-the art tools, techniques and analytics to carry out the strategy. 


Innovative (With Flawless Execution)
At national wireless provider Helio (now a part of Sprint), I helped lead the launch of the Ocean, the company’s flagship branded smartphone. At mobile marketing technology start-up Cenoplex, my analytical approach and bias for action made an immediate and positive impression on the company’s founders and CEO. I also played an active role in selling the company Monoprice to strategic buyer Blucora, Inc. for $180 million. This was possible due to the uniquely diverse set of skills I possess -strong business acumen, knowing the key marketing drivers to grow the business, and a familiarity with the M&A process from my early career as an investment banker. Most Recently, I created and drove strategies to cost-effectively acquire new accredited investors, as well as build a pipeline of real estate investment opportunities, for Realty Mogul - the leading online peer-to-peer investing platform for real estate. 

Unflappable (To Bring Steady Leadership)
I consider myself an authentic and natural leader - a builder of cohesive, high-performing teams. I get along with almost everyone while still maintaining a sense of respect and accountability. Most importantly, I stay steady, calm, and focused during intense and stressful situations to ensure objectives are met. 
I also enjoy meeting new people and networking, as it is always a fun learning experience. Additionally, I value getting the chance to mentor colleagues and team members, many of whom have taken their careers to leadership positions partially due to my career development efforts.   

I am most passionate when playing an active leadership role on a high-performing team - usually in a strategic marketing role or leading a digital business unit. However, I am also available for selective consulting projects in a number of areas such as marketing, strategy, e-commerce, business development, operational improvement, and organizational structure.
