About

Seasoned executive with a proven track record in international and domestic sales, business development, and general management. A humble veteran of the Chicago Police Department, I bring a mission-driven mindset to the business world—focused on delivering meaningful solutions and empowering people through access to the right information. With hands-on leadership experience as both a director and general manager, I’ve successfully managed P&Ls up to $50M and led high-performing teams across global markets. Known as a player-coach, I thrive in complex environments where I can provide strategic direction, tackle challenging business issues, and drive innovation that delivers measurable results. I also see leadership as more than just execution—it’s about shaping the conversation. I believe in thought leadership as a responsibility: to elevate ideas, share lessons learned, and influence the way industries think about technology, security, and human connection. By engaging openly and consistently, I work to spark dialogue, challenge assumptions, and help teams and partners find clarity in complexity. Above all, I believe in connecting people and purpose—and in leading with integrity, clarity, and impact.
