    Co-Founder, CEO & Chief Strategist

    Welding hydraulic cylinders helped pay my way through college, while engineering work at Johnson & Johnson and Texas Instruments paid for my MBA. I learned about finance, sales and sales rep management at GE Capital, which was where I was exposed to Jack Welch’s business acumen. These experiences—plus co-founding several start-ups with international reach—taught me how to listen and be helpful.
