I am a Board Member and IT Innovation & Growth Strategist with a proven track record of harnessing commercial acumen with finance expertise to deliver large-scale digital transformation programs with a strong focus on Identity Management and open-source IT infrastructure solutions.
One of my key strengths is assisting with strategy formulation, product innovation, and development to build a solid customer base and drive growth in new market segments. I nurture strong relationships with high-profile industry players and key partners, articulating the organizational mission, values, and strategies to generate and sustain industry interest and secure corporate and individual support.
I established the first overseas subsidiary in my most recent executive role with Univention, a privately held software company. I positioned Univention as an industry leader in the IT governance and Identity Management space, transforming sales and direct marketing to showcase the value and benefits of core products, and introducing targeted materials with a clear, consistent message that demonstrates measurable benefits.
I currently serve as Board Member, Advisor, and Mentor for a business community B2B funder, helping to future-proof strategic IT decisions, and as Treasurer for the Constructor University Foundation of America, my alma mater’s fundraising organization, where I have implemented investment strategies to increase the annual rate of return growth by 75%.
I am considered a thought leader in my field and have written articles for a wide range of professional bodies, as well as hosted numerous Industry roundtable events. I am an active Toastmaster, Board Member, and Accredited Investor. I currently serve as a Board Member to Market Intent and mpathAI, as an Advisory Board Member to Moxey, The Backpackster, and TargaTech, and as a Mentor to two startups and a student at Constructor University.
