Blue Hill, Maine, United States
Growing up in a hard-working mill town in Maine at a time when the factories were leaving, stores were closing and unemployment was high, I know first-hand how important it is to harness the collective strength of a community to help neighbors reach their full potential and to stimulate the local economy. Like many, I couldn’t wait to leave the challenges of that Maine town and I went off to make my mark on the world. Fast forward a few decades: I became a high-impact corporate executive with deep & broad experience leading diverse businesses. My early career in sales taught me the importance of delivering a great experience throughout a customer’s entire journey – and that’s been a strong influence as I advanced to general management roles with P&L responsibility along with strategy and operations. I place a premium on execution – unleashing an organization’s potential by identifying opportunities, bringing together siloed stakeholders and driving for results. I am recognized for integrity and my straightforward approach to solving complex challenges. Organization design, performance management and talent development really matter to me and I allocate a significant amount of time to creating an environment where the people I work with thrive and the organization flourishes. I have returned to Maine and am giving back to the place that gave me such a strong start in life. I am keen to leverage my business leadership experience to help shape a more vibrant future for our communities. If you’ve got a similar passion, I would love to connect.
