What Do I Bring To the Table?

I have 25 years of experience managing over $500M worth of global, high-profile, large-scale projects in construction, health care and non-profits. And I come in under budget and on-time. Seriously.

I’m a born strategist. A voracious learner. And I am actually okay with uncertainty. My first step is always problem identification. Then I overcome perceived constraints (just a little jedi trick) and use emotional intelligence as a stabilizing force. This allows thoughts (and often elephants) in the room to come roaring to life.

Most of all, I lead with advocacy. Which means less ego and frustration. More support and success.

You Might Be a Good Fit For Me If You Need...

Leadership

You’re in health care, higher ed, government or construction and your organization desperately needs a COO. The monumental initiative you’re working on is in chaos. Who will save the day?

Trust

Everything is going wrong. You don’t know what to do. Your team is not meeting expectations. There’s a lack of trust. A big, disastrous project is in progress--with multiple casualties. You know where you want to be, but don’t know how to get there.

Translation

You’re an expert in your field, but there’s a big construction project on your plate and you don’t know that world. Like, at all. You need a translator that can help meet goals and achieve measurable success.

Team-Building

Your team has gobs of talent, but company leadership is a little lacking. As a result, team members aren’t personally invested. They’re not committed. Way too caught up in egos and emotions to get stuff done. Help!
