Summary
Currently leading Yottaa, Inc., an emerging company backed by PSG Equity that is developing new ways to measure and improve website performance. Very interested in finding new customers, new partners and new acquisition candidates. Previously was recruited by private equity firm Accel-KKR to grow ClickDimensions, the leading provider of Marketing Automation to users of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Navigated high-intensity partnership and co-opetition and with Micrsoft and ultimately orchestrated a successful exit in January 2023. Turned an idea on a bar napkin into a $240 million division providing mission-critical communications technology to the Global 1000. Was part of the executive team to take PGI private in a $1.1 billion transaction with Siris Capital. Founded and funded two startups that are both thriving after more than 20 years including one that owned 6 million pairs of boxer shorts featuring sports teams' logos. Specialties: Organizational transformation, go-to-market, M&A and private-equity execution. Actively contributing to non-profit organizations falling into the following three categories: 1) Opportunity Society -- helping promote economic mobility and hope, 2) Environmental Conservation -- particularly interested in protecting wildlife and their habitats and 3) Childhood Development --- cutting edge work in the field of pre-adult education. Happy to hear about new ideas and opportunities in these areas.
