I believe the American business is one of the greatest forces ever created. I'm passionate about unlocking the hidden potential in every business I encounter. If you are open to a discussion about your business, don't hesitate to reach out. As a corporate executive, consultant, and business owner, I have grown revenue and improved profitability in transportation, manufacturing, commercial real estate, and e-commerce. I quickly assess business ecosystems to simplify business planning and improve strategy execution. My expertise includes mergers and acquisitions, designing and negotiating agreements, business development, and investment banking. While serving as General Manager on a consulting project for a utility services company, I grew revenue 25% while recovering $250,000 in abandoned receivables. My inventory management for an e-commerce retailer accelerated the turnover ratio from 1.2 to 3.2x, resulting in a 288% improvement in gross profit. I successfully identified and engaged a buyer for a $24M PE acquisition, completing the close in 44 days. Corporate leadership roles have included Managing Partner in a buy-side M&A advisory firm, Vice President in a commercial real-estate brokerage, and Manager in a $23B transportation company. As a consultant for a financial consulting firm, I served as General Manager for a utility service company and CFO for two $50M+ companies. My entrepreneurial ventures included co-ownership of an e-commerce retailer. As a Managing Director focused on business development in a buy-side M&A advisory firm, I helped structure M&A projects ranging from $10M to $1B in enterprise value. While Manager at BNSF Railway, I negotiated and managed $100M in annual contract value. I also helped structure a $1B agreement with Canadian National Railway.
