Executive Overview

For more than 25 years, I've led teams that help customers use technology to drive business value. In that time, digital transformation has literally changed the world. My challenge has been helping both customers and sellers set goals, plan for the future, and focus on what they can control in an environment where change is a given. In and outside of work, I believe in treating people with dignity and respect. My passion for service comes from a long-time family commitment. I serve as an ally, mentor and sponsor, and I believe we should all work toward a more inclusive and equitable future.
