Summary

Consistently high achieving sales, operations and marketing leader, with over two decades of experience in revenue growth strategies, transformation leadership and change management. My unwavering commitment to serving with integrity, combined with my ability to deliver exceptional results, has allowed me to turn struggling teams and organizations into profitable, revenue-growing entities within the senior living industry. I made an immediate impact by delivering double-digit growth within the first 90 days as the Vice President of Sales in my two most recent roles. I get to combine my strategic thinking with data-driven decision-making, informed by market trends, the competitive landscape, and customer needs. My navigation of investor relationships and key portfolio partners has been instrumental in our ability to deliver rapid results. I have transformed underperforming teams into the top performing sales teams by revamping their entire sales process and training the organization on implementing it. I have accomplished this with both stateside and offshore teams. My experience in turning around failing business sectors for companies such as Holiday, Elmcroft, and Emeritus, showcases my expertise in sales, revenue, operations, and marketing leadership. I have a strong sales acumen that has delivered results in both profit and non-profit sectors. I am committed to strategic revenue execution, top line sales leadership, profitable financial management and creating and nurturing a growth culture. I am committed to growth, adaptability and resiliency for those I lead, and for myself. A voracious reader and writer, I am currently writing my first leadership book 'Lost Laws of Leadership.' I want to be a multiplier for future leaders and sharing and encouraging them is what I am committed to doing in every role, and in every aspect of my life.
