Summary

I'm always looking for the next problem to solve...even in retirement. Lead delivery for a national product and agile consulting practice; before that, lead the Western US consulting practice for Cprime, a $130M consulting, staffing, and tools company. Grew key account to over $2M/mo by driving customer success through good product and Agile practices and partnership with key internal leaders and stakeholders. Proven executive leader and team-builder, technology visionary and transformation catalyst. I love mentoring and advising on these issues - what do you want to know? Focusing equally on the “why?” the “what?” and the “how?” to shift organizations from the endless cycles of activity management to managing and delivering outcomes. Executive mentoring, top-level change planning, value-stream re-engineering, digital roadmapping, and methodology improvements for clients including Paypal, Chevron, Lowe's, New York Life, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Dell, ILFC. Advised senior executives at Fortune 100, growth companies, and startups in process improvement around product definition, delivery, marketing and customer engagement. Developed products, product vision, enterprise systems as well as go-to-market and growth strategies for clients in human capital, healthcare, finance, media, eCommerce and automotive domains have included major corporations such as Manpower, ILFC (AIG), NBCU, Toyota, Nissan, Pacificare (UnitedHealth), and Florida Hospitals. High-profile clients have included the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and several celebrities. Startup clients have included 17Hats.com, CarsDirect.com, ExposureManager.com. Expert in Lean and Agile methodologies, as well as frameworks including SAFe, DAD, LESS, Kanban, Scrum. Led multiple successful transformation engagements which led to meaningful improvements in value delivery, output and quality for multiple 300-600 person teams. Multiple seven-figure initial wins plus expansions/renewals for consulting engagements with consistent repeat customers. Husband, dad (Army and Marine parent), I own (and read) too many books, don't ride enough miles on my bicycle or motorcycle or practice martial arts enough (student of Hee Il Cho and Crafty Dog). Raced sailboats and bicycles in college and afterward; climbed throughout Yosemite and the Sierra, can still tie a bowline single-handed.
