Conceiving, developing and executing the strategies and initiatives that drive revenues, growth, competitive market positioning, profits and shareholder value is what I do best! Throughout my career, in senior executive positions with the leaders in diverse industries, I have earned a track-record of success in managing complex business initiatives, and achieving exceptional rather than expected results – business initiatives and results like:
•Conceived an executed the strategy to spin-off a Health IT / Electronic Medical Records service offering into a stand-alone corporation – delivered more than the expected return over annual sales
•Developed a proven sales strategy and methodology for Global IT Solutions global workforce
•As CEO of Global IT Solutions, secured and managed competitively critical relations with global corporate clients – achieving 95% retention ratio among major players in manufacturing, financing, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries
•Built and marketed a Software-as-a-Services offering for key enterprises – grew sales from $150 thousand to $2 million within one year.
I have the distinction of being an individual who possesses the experience, capabilities and judgment for taking a business to its next level of success or resolving the deficiencies that impede its ability to grow and prosper. I have been characterized as a corporate strategy expert and am credited with personal contributions to top-line and bottom-line performance successes. I am a “doer” who is highly skilled in visualizing and executing a plan and doing whatever it takes to deliver. I am driven by challenge and undaunted by obstacles – and over the course of my career, I have fought and overcome virtually all types. I am accustomed to and effective in high-profile roles, making high-stakes decisions.
