Company and Career Inflection Points or “what I learned”… and businesses and products experienced along the way

- The company needed a series of business and organizations transformed, from a new acquisition, to our largest sales force to the Asia region

- I practiced building leadership teams, investment, Full P&L, creating culture, recovering from loss, and I learned what it feels like when the “buck stops here”

2003 – 2013

- Europe’s sales & marketing teams were fragmented across 14 countries while our customers and markets were integrating

- I brought experience in segment strategy development, LAM, process, tools, and talent development and learned about scale & diversity

1998 – 2002

- N.A. needed to organize around the new “mega bids” as industry consultants pushed benchmarks and leverage

- I learned how to create processes, tools, & teams to quantify value, master the benchmarks – and signed a $32M contract

1996 – 1998

- The west wanted to integrate US & Canadian organizations to focus on industry segment solutions to create new growth channels and move faster

- I learned how to integrate teams, shift business models, and create solutions with a JV

1992 – 1995
