"Life only makes sense in retrospect; a life, a career can only be lived in real-time and therefore nothing is predictable or inevitable.”
How I Got Here
I am a result focused with over 40 years in the business. That includes training, consulting, and management experience working with leaders in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, software, hospitality, higher education, and online services. My areas of expertise include leadership, team building, coaching & mentoring, organizational design & change, business development, HR solutions, strategic planning, global strategy, startups, and M&A.
Most of my later years have been in fractional consulting and business turnarounds while running several businesses such as Managing Partner of Intellectual Property at the GrowthWorx, where they created a new subsidiary, IBGR. We are building in front of you a 24x7 global internet business radio station based on our IP. All the programming is designed for entrepreneurs and business owners and heard in 177 countries. I am the interim Station Manager and VP for Demand through the end of 2021. IBGR will launch its first Incubator and accelerator programs this year.
Prior to my role with GrowthWorx, I held several positions with clients, including Senior Consultant for GreenMark Consulting Group, Director of Innovation at the Celebrity Service Institute, SVP Knowledge Management for the International Speakers Bureau, and the EVP of Consulting Services for Trainingscape. In my early career, I was a Managing Partner for Ken Blanchard Companies, a Team Leader for Economic Development, United Nations Development Programmes West Africa, and served as School Chief of the Leadership Management Program for the United States Coast Guard.
If this matters to you - yes I have the required ticket punches: an Executive MS in Management and Organizational Development from California American University, and a BS in Human Resources and Organizational Behavior from the University of San Francisco. What I am really is a serial entrepreneur (5 companies), and hold many certifications and has over 15,000 hours as a trainer and facilitator; bhah, bhah, bhah.

OK enough of the BS, hit me up and let's talk - owner to owner: https://gworx.youcanbook.me
