About

My leadership approach combines setting strategic direction with enabling teams to then succeed on that strategic direction. This strengthens organizational effectiveness and converts plans into execution. Getting somewhere as an organization is always about bringing others along, and this requires alignment on clarity, priorities, and follow-through. This focus matters, because as a team we can change anything, but we cannot change everything. My teams know they are set up for success, but they also know that, if the need arises, they can count on me to roll up my sleeves and support them to deliver what is needed. High-growth, complex, and transformation environments have defined my career. As a consequence, I am adept at handling complexity and ambiguity while driving progress with my teams in those situations. A strong belief in data-backed decisions underlies how I work and how I search for ways to drive more impact. I also enjoy helping organizations use technology to deliver financial and business impact. Technology must deliver value, not just capability. Cost and benefit belong in the same conversation. What motivates me? - Providing clarity to enable prioritization - Creating alignment across organizations, especially in complex situations - See it all coming to life through impact and results Success for me is straightforward. It is delivering on our objectives for employees, customers, partners, and shareholders by ensuring the teams and people around me accomplish what we set out to do.
