You must be clear about what makes your company unique, develop a strategic competitive advantage and deliver value to your clients.

Over the last 30 years, I have helped leaders at some of the finest companies in the world see and seize opportunity. I was in the trenches with US auto manufacturers to implement quality processes that helped them to turn the corner and compete against Asian bands. I’ve worked side-by-side with domestic manufacturers to expand while others retreated. And I have provided professional guidance to young teams, to provide stability, process and metrics as they pursue aggressive growth strategies.

As CEO FOR HIRE, I turn the sum of my experience into short-term professional engagements, custom-designed to meet the needs of enterprises seeking to supplement their on-staff expertise.
