Skills
Summary
I am a seasoned entrepreneur who's looking to acquire my next business in the home services industry. Having already built two businesses from the ground up, I've turned my attention toward acquiring an existing company and taking it to the next level using a systematic approach. My plan is to devote 100% of my time and effort to leading the company to maximize its long-term potential while maintaining continuity with its employees, partners, customers and brand. I spent most of my career in the high-tech industry as a Software Test Engineer where I helped companies focus on the product's usability, scalability and overall customer happiness. This knowledge crossed-over to the short term rental and hair care industries for me and by partnering with Acquira, I'll be able to utilize these skills in the home services industry, as well.
