On-siteHybridRemote

For on-site opportunities, my preferred area is within approximately 20 miles of ZIP 14094 (Lockport), in the United States. I’m also comfortable with hybrid and remote work.

The map shows an approximate straight-line radius around the ZIP area, not a home address or driving-distance guarantee. On-site coverage is U.S. locations only.

others overlook.

08 PROJECTS

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.
