I'm an operator who builds, scales, and modernizes organizations. Over the last 30 years I’ve run P&L, rebuilt teams, turned around underperforming divisions, and launched companies across legal services, recruiting, AI, robotics, retail, and consumer goods. I focus on practical execution, clean processes, and people-first leadership backed by modern technology.

My work centers on taking complex operations and making them run faster, cleaner, and smarter. I’ve led multi-site organizations with more than 200 employees, managed P&L up to 80 million, delivered double-digit growth in tough cycles, and driven transformation across HR, talent, operations, sales, marketing, and brand.

I’m known for using AI and automation in a grounded way that cuts waste, speeds up decision-making, and improves outcomes without losing the human element. I’ve trained leaders on responsible AI adoption, built AI-driven recruiting systems that reduced hiring timelines by up to 40 percent, and designed predictive tools for robotics operations and workforce performance.

I work best in environments that need clarity, structure, and forward motion. Whether it’s rebuilding a leadership team, tightening operations, driving a rebrand, or scaling into new markets, I bring a steady hand, a direct approach, and a focus on results.

Career highlights include building Riderflex from zero to a multi-million-dollar recruiting and consulting firm with more than 4,000 placements; leading turnarounds during major economic downturns; improving profitability by as much as 35 percent; and growing digital and e-commerce revenue 20 to 30 percent through modernization, analytics, and smarter operations.

Today I continue to lead talent and brand strategy for a growing law firm, chair robotics and home services companies, and advise owners and executives on operations, talent, AI, and organizational alignment.
