After earning an MBA at The Olin Graduate School of Business at Washington University, my journey into the corporate world kicked off in the realm of corporate banking. From day one, I found myself in the company of CEOs – some exceptional, others less so. However, each encounter served as a profound lesson in leadership.

​

Venturing beyond the confines of corporate banking, I founded my own boutique investment banking firm.

​

Transitioning into the role of CEO after three decades of high-level consulting marked a new chapter. Leading companies across finance, temporary staffing, consumer electronics, and retail, the journey brought successes and, yes, an epic failure. It was in the aftermath of that failure, both corporate and personal, that I underwent a transformative process of self-discovery.
