Skills
Summary
I am a highly qualified and experienced business executive with an outstanding background in managing software and hardware technologies and driving business, financial, and strategic activities, including mergers and acquisitions. I am adept in developing complex financial operating models, and knowledgeable in accounting and taxation rules and regulations. I am an expert in project management, process design and implementation, and organization development. I possess an expansive business network including board members, investment professionals, legal advisors, management experts, and critical technology industry leaders. ◆ Corporate Oversight — I spearheaded 35+ business and corporate transactions, including two minority investments, three licensing and partnership agreements, 11 divestitures, and 22 acquisitions. I directed the activities of 10 direct reports and 30+ indirect reports in the execution and integration of 40+ acquisitions. ◆ Operational Improvements — As a corporate development leader, I successfully achieved process improvements impacting all transaction stages by utilizing data and metrics to analyze completed transactions. I established benchmarks to evaluate merger and acquisition activities against comparable software companies. ◆ Strategic Planning — I served as a critical member of the executive team that responded to an activist threat by developing a novel strategic course of action for the business. I interacted with essential public investors to gain support for the proposal, prompting the activists to withdraw an opposing proxy slate of directors.
