Digital Transformation and Strategy Consultant.
When someone in the board room drops the proverbial “I know a guy…” – that’s my cue because I'm that that guy.
For 25 years, I've helped companies in multiple industries drive success by uncovering new revenue opportunities, increasing market share, reducing costs, and intensifying efficiency with net $1B in revenue impact.
How? By stating the hard truths, isolating the underlying problems, and executing data-driven, specific solutions to tackle these challenges.
My experience in product leadership, innovation, and development ranges from retail to healthcare to blockchain. And while these industries seem vastly different, the common thread is that there are no easy answers; in fact, in many cases, there aren’t even good ones.
And that’s what triggers my passion.
- With a trained ear and a precise sense of urgency, I spott the ugliest problems draining company resources.
- With depth and breadth and a proprietary problem-solving process, he turns those problems sideways to think differently and recommend innovative solutions.
- With a proven track record, he recognizes, manages, and executes the needed change.
The results: grocery coupons delivered millions of times daily in retail stores, H&R Block’s #1 app, an award-winning food locker system, and a best-in-class Digital Transformation business awarded six years in a row each generating $100Ms year-on-year revenue.
Clients include hyper-growth corporations, closely held companies, and non-profits like the Washington Business Alliance, Costco, Avanti Markets, Kimberly-Clark, Catalina Marketing, Safeway Stores, UST, and Cognizant.
These days, I am a sought-after voice in retail, AI, leadership, and more. I'm the person media folks call for the scoop on how tech and globalization are reshaping our lives.
Onward.
