Profile

A self-made intrapreneur, driven by people who turn ideas into ventures that unite others around a vision.

Eternally optimistic, I believe every challenge is an opportunity — we are living a new industrial revolution where anything is possible. I'm an overachiever and technology-savvy sales professional: loyal, purposeful, honest and positive-minded.

Over more than 15 years in business development, I've built strong people-management and leadership capabilities, helping organizations grow and become major actors in their markets.
