Engagement overview

Engagements can be anything from hourly support, to formal project management, to interim leadership. My experience in various sales, management, and executive roles enables me to establish strong relationships at all levels, make decisions, manage risk, and implement without disrupting the business…while keeping things simple and not overcomplicating solutions.  My balanced time working with start-ups has enabled me to think pragmatically so the business can keep moving forward and not "spin wheels" chasing a moving target as many companies going through formal "transformations" often do.
