Senior Consultant
Consultant
Analyst (Intern)
ARC-X SOLUTIONS
Beginning in college as an intern and moving quickly through the ranks, my focus in these roles was leading small teams to deliver change primarily with respect to business growth, sales enablement, customer engagement, and technology applications. Getting started in college was a decision I made to give myself a competitive advantage, relative to my peers.

Consultant (Self-Employed)
1099 CONTRACTS
In addition to my day job as a consultant, I took-on additional contracts which I sold and delivered single-handedly. These sales and analytics-focused engagements were conducted for startups like ZocDoc, advanced corporations like ADP, and a familiar retail player, SSV. I targeted these contracts in order to build my experience and skillsets as rapidly as possible.

Dept Manager
ALPINE SKI CENTER
A place that will always hold some of my fondest memories, set me on a new path in my life, and introduced me to a long list of my closest friends, Alpine was a place that rewarded hard work. Within 6 months, I was managing a department and was the go-to POC for race teams and pros (ski instructors and patrol).

Partner
GOOD BEEF STUDIOS
At age 14, I entered into a partnership with a friend 6 years older than I. We produced numerous albums (some good, some terrible), including a band whose music was sold in Best Buy stores. The business taught me a lot very early-on before it was sold when I went to college.

PORTFOLIO
KEY EXPERTISE
RELATIONSHIPS/EQ
Perhaps my greatest skill lies in EQ, which I deploy internally and externally. Building relationships, consensus, and trust is a skill that I feel is difficult to teach and it is one that comes naturally to me. The product of this is strong client relationships, return business, and robust internal collaboration.
​
"You have exceptional EQ and I think that's the reason all of your clients love you and everyone loves working for you."
- Senior Director
PEOPLE FIRST
Be it in my professional consulting or entrepreneurial endeavors, investing in people pays dividends. I expend significant effort ensuring the professional development of my teams, taking the time when appropriate to educate and discuss career trajectory so that all my direct reports understand their key opportunities to progress.
​
"Your people thrive under you and they are better, more skilled professionals whose careers are flourishing because of you."
- Senior Director
VALUE DELIVERY
Analytic and consultative delivery in a multi-program, cross-functional environment presents challenges, but it's a comfortable environment for me. I am charged with ensuring value through strategic account targets and directing the efforts of my teams to deliver on our promises. A robust portfolio of successes demonstrates my capability to execute in this area.
​
"Your delivery is stellar and meets or exceeds the best work our practice produces."
- Senior Director
