Building Stronger Businesses for What's Next

I'm at my best when a business is at an operating inflection point: the opportunity is real, but the organization, systems, leadership or execution need to catch up.

Most businesses have opportunities to improve. The challenge is knowing where to focus first and which changes will have the greatest impact. I bring an objective, practical perspective to understanding what is working well, where opportunities exist, and where leadership should focus next, then help turn those priorities into disciplined execution.

✓ PE-Backed Growth & Operating Leadership

Led a significant Midwest multi-location business within Foundation Building Materials, with responsibility for a $50M+ operation and its growth, profitability, customer service and execution. Also played a broader leadership role in the organization’s acquisition-driven growth and operational transformation.

✓ Reimagined How Distribution Reaches the Market

Co-founded and scaled a modified e-commerce distribution business serving the construction market, developing a business and go-to-market strategy designed to serve the full market, from consumers and contractors to specifiers, designers and distributors. Built the operating, technology, supply chain and commercial infrastructure from the ground up, reaching $5M+ in revenue within 24 months and profitability within the first year.

✓ Growth & Commercial Leadership

Built scalable go-to-market strategies that created significant new business for Cityscapes and developed a KPI-driven sales and marketing platform at Byrne Electrical Specialists. Built the commercial capabilities, structure and accountability needed to support sustained growth.

✓ P&L & Market Leadership

Led a significant Midwest regional business spanning roofing, insulation and industrial foam markets, with responsibility for growth and profitability across multiple businesses. The result was a 2% net market-share gain while simultaneously improving overall gross margins.

What’s Next

At this stage of my career, I’m less focused on title and more focused on where I can bring the greatest value. I’ve been fortunate to work with great people, build and grow businesses, lead through change, and learn a great deal along the way.

I’m looking for the opportunity to bring those experiences together, helping a business grow profitably, strengthening its operations, developing leaders, and creating an environment where people can do their best work. I believe the best measure of leadership is not simply the results we deliver, but the people and capabilities we develop along the way.

For me, what’s next is about finding the right organization, the right people, and the opportunity to make a meaningful, lasting contribution.
