Bio

My expertise lies at the intersection of industry and government advising C-Suite and Senior Leaders, leveraging a strong foundation of general management and technology expertise. I bring 30 years of industry experience in conjunction with 3 ½ years in a senior political government position, the combination of which provides an understanding of the nexus of industrial capability and government ability to procure. I understand how products and services are successfully sold to U.S., particularly the Department of Defense, and international governments. My experience includes a broad range of products and services supporting defense, homeland security, aerospace, infrastructure protection and customers around the world. My technology knowledge coupled with my ability to take highly technical issues and translate them to capability is valuable in the work I do for private and public organizations as well as the boards I serve.
