Human beings behave irrationally. I have a keen ability to simplify the complicated by making data and statistics easy to understand thereby enabling more rational behavior. I help my constituents, be they in Sales, Finance, Marketing or Information Technology, digest overwhelming amounts of data and information through intuitive analytics and visualizations, so they can make informed decisions to improve business performance.
No single approach is workable for every audience or situation, and I am adept at tailoring my message and delivery to ensure successful outcomes. While I have enjoyed many individual achievements, my proudest professional accomplishment is the great people I have been able to coach and mentor and the powerful teams I have developed. I believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and my approach to leadership and development reflects this. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of California at Los Angeles and a Master of Business Administration from the University of California at Davis Graduate School of Management. I am also a Certified Management Accountant and serve as Director of Outreach for the San Francisco chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants. |
