Skills
Summary
Focused on piloting business interests through choppy markets and mentoring new entrepreneurs without charts. I've worked across cultures, to grow global corporate business units, led successful M&As across North America and integrated acquired units, co-founded, financed and built startups, mentored founders and business leaders, represented foreign interests and guided family-owned businesses. New markets, boardroom governance, turnarounds, strategic hacking, branding, commercial and union negotiations, dispute resolution and the realistic use of social media are all in my comfort zone. I have insider experience in tech, medical devices, marine and school bus transportation, wholesale and retail fuels, consumer product distribution, testing and inspection and even condominium management. P&Ls from early stage to over $250M with multi-location, international operations are where I come from. My cell connects 24 hours. Contact distrax.info@gmail.com Canadian, UK and Irish citizen
