About

I lead organizations through periods of transformation and high growth.

At FGX International: Faced with a largely U.S.-focused business, I charted a new course for global expansion. Through a mix of acquisitions, partnerships, and new market entries, we achieved 5X international revenue growth and presence in over 55 countries.

At DOLIUM: The challenge was re-positioning for growth and profitability. By rebuilding sales, improving product quality, and securing capital, we revitalized the company and set it on a sustainable path forward.

My Approach: Whether the goal is global expansion or re-positioning for growth, I provide clarity and focus amidst complexity. I analyze challenges, identify opportunities, and craft actionable strategies that deliver measurable results.

You have to love the customer-facing part of the job!

With over 20 years in CPG, I've honed a deep understanding of the customer journey and a passion for building lasting relationships. I thrive on walking in their shoes, collaborating to solve problems, and delivering value that drives growth.

My Experience: I've led commercial agendas across all tiers of the value chain – from international retailers to local distributors – leveraging shared KPIs, category management, and customer insights to drive results. I believe in end-to-end accountability, aligning sales, operations, marketing, and finance for maximum impact. 

Companies of all sizes thrive on entrepreneurship

My career has been defined by building, transforming, and owning results – whether at small startups, high-growth companies, or multi-billion dollar market leaders. I believe entrepreneurial spirit isn't about company size, but about a mindset of ownership and a drive to create positive change.

My Experience:

• Building: From new business units to high-performing teams, I've consistently built structures and capabilities for growth.
• Transforming: I thrive on leading organizations through disruption and change, challenging the status quo to achieve new levels of success.
• Owning Results: I take full responsibility for outcomes, good or bad, and foster a culture of accountability throughout the organization.

I'm passionate about leveraging business and community engagement to drive positive social and environmental change.

Throughout my career, I've been driven by a deep commitment to making a positive impact on the world. Whether through my work in the corporate sector or my involvement in community organizations, I've sought opportunities to create meaningful change.

At Essilor/FGX International, I saw firsthand the transformative power of access to vision care and sun protection, especially in underserved communities. Leading initiatives to expand that access was incredibly rewarding.

Similarly, at DOLIUM, I championed the use of recycled materials and the implementation of recycling programs across Europe, recognizing the importance of sustainable practices in our industry.

My commitment to the environment extends to my community involvement as well. As a leader at Friends of the Blue Hills, I've worked tirelessly to protect this vital green space for future generations. And, as an appointed member of Milton's Climate Action Planning Committee, I'm actively involved in finding local solutions to global climate challenges.

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." – Albert Einstein

This quote perfectly encapsulates my approach to life and work. I've never been content to follow a predetermined path or stay within a narrow field. Instead, I've embraced diverse challenges and opportunities fueled by my insatiable curiosity.

This mindset has led me to live and work abroad three times, tackle complex problems in various industries, and continuously seek out new ways to learn and grow. It's also how I've become comfortable with risk, recognizing that true growth comes from stepping outside of one's comfort zone.

My passion for learning and exploration is what drives me, and it's what I believe allows me to bring unique perspectives and innovative solutions to every challenge I encounter.
