Strategy, backed by
the full story.
Operations and revenue executive with 20+ years driving multimillion-dollar growth and building high-performing teams across retail, technology, manufacturing and BPO environments. I open new wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels from scratch, modernize CRM and EDI infrastructure, and embed agentic AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini to compound team output. I turn stalled initiatives into producing channels, recover trapped value and build the operating systems that let companies scale. Through FBMK, I also develop independent products and provide fractional executive leadership. I’m the author of Thrive90: The Reboot, a practical guide built around the methodology behind Thrive90.
