A versatile utility player valuing focus, forethought and flexibility

About

Whatever the endeavor and whatever the field, be it media, legal, retail, finance, or an arena yet unexplored, I ultimately come back to three things: focus, forethought, and flexibility. I value the ability to manage the short-game (focus), the long-game (forethought) and the transition between the two (flexibility). For all the soccer lovers out there, you could also say I work to provide pressure, cover and balance – the three points of the triangle at the heart of great team defense and collaboration.
