A Leader at the Intersection of Business Operations and Technology
I am a results-driven executive with a unique, dual-threaded career spanning C-suite business leadership and senior technology architecture. This background provides me with a rare, 360-degree perspective on what it takes to drive growth in the modern digital landscape.
My Foundation in Business Leadership
My career began in the trenches of business ownership and executive management. As a President and Managing Director, I held full P&L responsibility, leading companies through intense market shifts, including the Great Recession and the geopolitical disruption of the Arab Spring. These experiences taught me the fundamentals of leadership: how to build and mentor diverse, multi-cultural teams; how to manage an international supply chain; how to develop a go-to-market strategy; and how to make difficult financial and operational decisions under extreme pressure. I learned firsthand what keeps a business solvent and what drives it toward growth.
My Expertise in Digital Technology
Recognizing that the future of every industry was digital, I then dedicated over a decade to mastering the technology that powers modern commerce. As a Lead Architect and Adobe Certified Expert, I have designed and built enterprise-level eCommerce platforms for major global brands. My technical expertise is not just in code, but in architecting scalable, high-performance systems that deliver a world-class customer experience and measurable business results, with a deep focus on performance optimization (Core Web Vitals), SEO, and accessibility (WCAG).
The Unified Approach
My value proposition lies at the intersection of these two worlds. I don’t just see a technology roadmap; I see its impact on the P&L. I don’t just see a business goal; I see the underlying architecture required to make it a reality.
This unified perspective allows me to lead digital transformation initiatives, manage complex technical programs, and direct cross-functional teams with a level of insight that bridges the traditional gap between the boardroom and the engineering department.
I am currently advancing this dual expertise with a dual master’s degree. Pursuing an MBA, IT Management from WGU & a Masters of Science in Information Systems from Liberty University (estimated completion 05/2026), to further refine my skills in modern corporate strategy and technology governance.
My mission is to partner with forward-thinking organizations to build efficient operations, deliver exceptional digital experiences, and drive sustainable growth.
The Pragmatic Visionary
I build systems that make innovation practical. For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of technology, design, and disciplined execution, translating complex challenges into measurable performance gains. My focus is not on chasing trends or volume but on clarity, trust, and craftsmanship in everything I build.
Innovation, to me, is not about being first. It is about building what lasts. Whether in eCommerce performance optimization, AI workflow automation, or new business ventures, my work centers on making technology serve people with accuracy, transparency, and purpose.
Who I Am
I am a learner at heart, a builder by instinct, and a relator by design. I believe that real innovation grows from trust and mastery, not impulse. I am analytical, exacting, and deeply loyal. I work best in high-accountability environments where quality is a shared expectation, not a request.
My leadership style is shaped by a few key strengths:
- Learner – I find energy in mastering new systems, tools, and concepts. Growth is the reward.
- Relator & Individualization – I value depth over reach. I build small, trusted teams where authenticity replaces pretense.
- Belief – I work from conviction, not convenience. My values guide my technical and creative decisions.
- Responsibility – I carry commitments personally and deliver with integrity.
- Analyzer – I move only after evidence. I measure twice, act once, and aim for accuracy that others can depend on.
How I Think and Build
My approach to innovation is pragmatic. I bring order to complexity and turn ideas into systems that perform consistently. Creativity is not a burst; it is an iterative discipline built through mastery and refinement.
I thrive where technology and structure meet human behavior. Whether optimizing Adobe Commerce performance, implementing automation pipelines, or designing AI-assisted publishing workflows, my process balances precision with empathy for the user.
I build frameworks that make innovation measurable. Once performance can be measured, it can be improved.
What Drives Me
Purpose, learning, trust, and impact.
I am motivated by work that serves something greater than profit. I want the systems I build to empower people, support family legacy, and create lasting value. I am most engaged when learning is constant and when surrounded by teams that share trust and mutual respect.
My best work happens when vision and execution align with purpose.
What I Am Learning
Excellence without balance can become its own bottleneck. I have learned that leadership requires movement even when the path is not perfect. Growth for me is learning to delegate, to welcome conflict when it builds clarity, and to release perfection when progress matters more.
My current focus is on developing resilience and delegation practices that keep innovation fluid and collaborative.
How I Lead
I lead with precision and patience. My communication is clear and candid. I value facts over flair and persistence over performance. I expect accountability, beginning with myself.
In every project, I hold a simple philosophy: if a system fails, fix the process before blaming the person.
I believe in stewardship of trust, resources, and people. Leadership, to me, is the quiet discipline of responsibility in motion.
