Executive Recruiter

Successful businesses = 1) People. 2) Product. 3) Profit.

Unfortunately, most businesses pursue “success” (💰💰💰) rather than letting it ensue and they flip the order.

If your business owns you because…

😑 There’s no one else on your team taking ownership of results.

😣 Your team glad-hands in the hallways and sabotages each other the first chance they get.

😬 Nobody on your team knows what winning looks like because it hasn’t been defined or is constantly changing. 

🫣 Your meetings are 80% talking over each other, 15% pontificating, and 5% decision-making.

Then keep reading…

Are vacations met with equal parts excitement and anxiety over what will happen when you’re gone and the pile left for you to clean up when you return?

I know how you feel all too well.

❌ You’re frustrated with unspoken (or, very CLEARLY spoken) conflicts that are slowly but surely eating away at your bottom line.

❌ Your business is keeping you from truly living and reaping the benefits of all your hard work.

❌ Another year of doing work with people that literally suck the life right out of each other and you’ll literally go mad!

❌ You’re lonely. Bored. Worn out. Terrified. Waiting for the next deal to push you over the hump.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Of course, you know this. You just don’t know how to get there.

Here’s the deal, you can read all the leadership books, take all of the personality assessments your sister-in-law that’s in HR suggests to you. 

You can even hire a consultant to come in and facilitate a discussion about the most recent Lencioni book at your annual offsite. 5️⃣ 🥴 👏🏼

What you really need is a partner that understands your predicament and has a proven track record of leveling up businesses from fledgling to $500m juggernauts.

Someone who will be in the trenches with you through the toughest of decisions…who will be there with you beyond an executive summary and a list of action items.

My passion is working with CEOs and their leadership teams to deliver meaningful, TRANSFORMATIONAL changes in their individual and collective performance.

Are you ready to:

🏆 CLEARLY define what winning looks like and develop processes that create the roadmap for your entire company?

📈 Transform your leaders into a high-performing, results-oriented team that feeds off each other’s wins and energy, increases revenue, and establishes your business as an employer of choice?

🏝️ Run your business instead of having it run all over you?

Then let’s talk.

Throughout my career, I’ve been sought to develop business in new markets, turn around sales in underperforming regions, and accelerate growth in established markets. At the same time, I’ve enjoyed building and leading large, customer-centric teams that are instilled with the mindset that we’re in the business of providing innovative solutions to meet every client’s unique needs.

I’ve also held operational roles which have complemented my sales and leadership background. It’s been rewarding to identify cost-saving opportunities and to improve top- and bottom-line results by streamlining back-office processes and procedures. 

My global experience includes regions spanning the U.S. and Latin America (LATAM) and I’m proficient in Spanish and Portuguese with a deep respect for diverse cultures and people. 

Highlights:

STRATEGIC PLANNING & EXECUTION – Developed and implemented sales strategies that enabled Adtran to deliver telecommunication solutions for corporate clients in LATAM and catapult revenues in a historically low volume market (less than $2M annually) to more than $30M annually.
