Personal Insight
Q: How has experience in many different
industries equipped you for your next position?
A: While every position has a learning curve, my insight into the fundamentals
of business across industries allows me to parachute into virtually any situation
and hit the ground running. Having led both finance and operations for a variety
of companies, I am comfortable at the nexus of those two areas. Being able to tie
together cross-industry and cross-functional experiences enables me to have a
positive impact wherever I go.
Q: What are the biggest obstacles for most companies in achieving
sustainability?
A:Too often companies are less than the sum of their parts, a series of functional areas
that are not collaborating to achieve a common goal. I have been repeatedly successful
at helping companies get their operating departments aligned and working together.
The outcome is better working capital management, more efficient use of resources,
and often increased revenues.
Q: How do you keep your cool when leading an organization through
difficult times?
A: I’ve always kept my emotions at bay, not take things personally, and focus
on the areas that are under my control. I set realistic plans, act decisively, and
communicate regularly and candidly with all stakeholders. I also make sure each
employee knows how they can contribute to the goal. By nurturing the best talent
and a culture of accountability the company will be in the best position to succeed
during challenging times.
Q: What has been your greatest lesson learned over your career?
A: People and companies need to constantly question what they do and how
they do it, or risk complacency and stagnation. It is easy to stop asking “why?”
and to just rely on routines and habits, which often compromises performance.
I have learned as a leader to ask questions, no matter how simple or basic, to
productively challenge the answers, and then to keep drilling down until we
have the best answers. This practice can be uncomfortable, but it often leads to
new insights and better results.
