Summary

I am an accomplished Executive Strategic Business Consultant that drives organizational improvements through leveraging expertise in research and system enhancement.

I am inventive, a forward thinker, pro-active, decisive, concise, accurate, a logical decision maker, a team player, creative, a natural leader, internally motivated and focused on the optimal output and outcome. I have the ability to interact in a highly people and task orientated industry, to motivate and inspire those around me and to empower people to reach individual and group objectives.

I have a clear vision of future possibilities coupled with the drive and organization to implement ideas.

My global thinking leads me to develop visionary goals and broad-brush plans for achieving these within any organizational structure. I value knowledge and expect competence of myself and others.
