Seasoned executive with strong track-record of success in start-up organizations and developing talent to achieve unprecedented results. I am a doer and self-starter, who is quick to learn from mistakes to find the right solution. I am a builder, who consistently shatters goals and brings people together. I excel at developing platforms for connecting communities via online and live events.
