Specialties include integration and separation planning/execution, transition services agreement development, data protection, antitrust compliance, large-scale program/project management, expansive cross-function coordination, process optimization, and driving results through collaborative problem solving. With prior experience as a combat leader and operations manager in the construction industry, I bring a people-first mentality to my work and strive to build teams through mutual respect, trust, and leading empathetically from the front. Graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and NYU Stern School of Business with an MBA specializing in Strategy and Finance. Outside of work, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible either fishing, kayaking, or attempting to be successful at gardening. Always open to professional networking and learning more about unique career journeys or to help other veterans as they transition from military service.
