    I am a BCG strategy consultant with a specialization in marketing, branding and sales strategy. I have global P&L general management and advisory experience in the consumer goods, electronics, non-profit and federal government sectors. I have managed advertising campaigns for $1B brands, built and commercialized new products, overseen complex global supply chains, sold in to the world's largest retailers, coordinated financial instruments for farmers in rural Africa, and presented strategic recommendations to US military officers in the Pentagon to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds. The breadth of my career has afforded me a unique perspective on addressing complex challenges with a common thread: a desire to positively impact people and the lives they lead. As a professional, I am dedicated to the team, to the objectives, to the end users, and to the philosophy of "winning together". I believe in communicating candidly, working with empathy, and saying less while asking more. Failure is a means of progress so long as you fail smart, fail fast, learn and move on. As an individual, I believe that great working relationships start with personal connections built through trust, vulnerability, humility and a genuine interest in each other's lives and wellbeing. I thrive in settings that emphasize diversity, inclusion and collaboration over competition. Personally, I have a passion for skiing, hiking, disc golf and professional soccer. I've driven 7K miles overland across Sub-Saharan Africa and have organized an 'Amazing Race' for 25 people across four countries in six days.
