Firms call me when they need a first-principles thinker, a hands-on operator, and a leader with success in building & leading global teams. Firms' commercial operations will be transformed to be simple, with broken down silos, and with strategic & operational alignment across all functions. All with an orientation to the customer buying journey.

Outside of work I share my love for sports by coaching competitive youth soccer ⚽️ teams and showing my sons how to love the juxtaposition of emotion & analytics inherent in sport (ask me about how my sons have now blown past me on the karting track 🏎).

Ask me about the lifelong lessons I learned by leading a team at age 22, as a deep-sea oil-rig engineer, detonating RDX explosives in the dark night during the monsoons in the middle of the Indian Ocean. 💥🌊⛈️
