Me? First and foremost, Dad, Golf Enthusiast, and Friend. I’m also a complicated tapestry of structure and emotion-driven to lead. I continue to learn and strive to be the business practitioner of choice, capable of forming and leading large teams to, through, and around change. My reputation as a people leader is not built on a foundation of successes, more of the opposite...it’s because I’ve failed.
The beauty of failing is the lesson. Taking a look in my past, I’ve discovered, like a lot of things, that being a great leader is a consistent push and pull based on development of self and others. Personal growth is a continuum, a journey and not a destination. And even though being vulnerable is hard, I’m not afraid to rumble to be a better person. Related to Business Operations, some of my past accomplishments include bringing a private practice past a $3 million threshold without altering staff or procedure but instead designing and implementing new processes.
Rising over 25% growth in less than 18 months. I have a recognized reputation of excellence in leading high-performing teams and over ten years of experience in Retail Sales and Dental Industry Sales. Running a company is not a one-size-fits-all model, so I’ve had to scale my business approach to meet the needs of my teams.
This has meant enhancing organizational structure from a large corporation down to a private dental practice, reviewing organizational effectiveness, and cutting out waste where appropriate to improve business performance. Those experiences helped me build a track record of strong operational, sales, and development skills on a national level. Other professional accomplishments include:- Winning a 1.2 million dollar account for my territory- As a Sales Manager leading my team to exceed goals 10 out of 12 months- As a mentor and trainer developing people to exceed their own expectations
