I am an international business consultant, strategic advisor and keynote speaker with an extensive global network of corporate and government leaders. I bring people and corporations together to achieve something greater than they could have imagined on their own.
As a CEO of four companies over the past 25 years, my breadth of knowledge in global corporate governance, risk management, digital transformation, cybersecurity, anticorruption, and balancing the interests of various corporate stakeholders is vast and up to date. Whether acting as an international business consultant or a board member, this experience keeps me engaged in proactive counsel to all of my clients looking to negotiate the hyper-competitive global marketplace.
In over two decades of experience, I have observed that companies large and small struggle to answer the same question: How can we thrive, or in some cases, how can we survive in markets that are constantly being disrupted?
