In my work as Vice President at Panasonic, we were constantly looking for smaller to large companies to partner with on new business ventures. From our getting into Battery Storage Devices, to our early pioneering of Home Telemedicine, to our working on whole home ventilation and energy systems, I headed a team that worked with partners to bring to market solutions in areas that we could not do on our own. A lot of this work is empowering staff to do the ground work for setting up a successful venture, and a key to doing that is hiring the right type of person. They are not just sales people, or product people, or managers. They are innovators and project management, with technical backgrounds and an understanding of marketing. In this sense, who you put in key positions is a key to getting successful ventures, as well as defining clearly the work of leadership in cementing relationships. I can help advise on doing this successfully.

I’m not a theorist, I’m a builder. Over the past decade, I’ve help scale multiple businesses from the ground up, including a multi-location pediatric dental group, and some real estate ventures. I’ve led teams of doctors, administrators, and staff while navigating the complex challenges that come with growth: hiring and firing, creating systems, balancing budgets, optimizing operations, and developing leaders. I’ve managed everything from clinical workflows to partner buy-ins to executive-level financial structuring. Along the way, I’ve learned how to scale with clarity, simplify complexity, and lead people with purpose. Here’s what sets me apart: Real-world experience: I run businesses just like yours. I’ve been in the trenches—fixing broken systems, reworking team structures, and turning chaos into consistency. Cross-functional knowledge: From finance and staffing to marketing and culture-building, I’ve worked across every area that drives a business forward. Strategic mindset: I combine operational execution with big-picture thinking. I help you zoom out, prioritize what matters, and build systems that scale. Leadership and teaching: As a university professor and mentor to other professionals, I know how to break down complex ideas and coach others to their potential. Whether you're a founder stuck in the weeds or a leader looking to scale without burning out, I can help you build the business behind the vision. This isn’t about fluff. It’s about real solutions from someone who’s doing it every day.
