Executives don't have a data problem.
They have a filter problem.

STRATEGIC COUNSEL
Decision framing and leadership alignment for CEOs and founders at an inflection point. The outside voice that tells you the truth about what you're looking at.
INTERIM & FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP
COO, VP, and Director-level engagements. Step in, stabilize, build the structure, hand it off stronger than I found it.
TRANSFORMATION DELIVERY
Operating model design and digital modernization, led end to end, with the change management that makes it hold after I leave.

Twenty-five years in rooms where the stakes were high and the picture wasn't clear. Director-level at R.R. Donnelley, running a $40M global service delivery portfolio and driving $12M+ in revenue growth. Director-level program leadership at Central States Funds, where enterprise modernization produced a 30% operational improvement and materially reduced compliance risk. Before all of it, the U.S. Marine Corps, where I learned that clarity under pressure is a discipline, not a personality trait.
I work best with founder-led and mission-driven organizations at an inflection point: growth, restructuring, a leadership gap, or a transformation that stalled.
Fractional, interim, contract, and full-time roles at the Director, VP, and C-level. Naples, FL or fully remote, travel ready.
