Personal Statement:
"For over twenty-five years I've studied the ways in which companies make their mark by developing meaningful products, services, and technologies that impact our world in a positive way. It's a fascinating process, and I get great satisfaction helping to engineer forward-thinking strategies, and by setting the stage for expansion. Thriving, well-positioned companies can better withstand the vagaries of the economy, and helping companies prosper so they can share their success with their employees is extremely rewarding. Healthy companies foster a self-sustaining cycle: meaningfully-compensated employees can better nurture and educate their children, who in turn, develop into individuals who'll make positive contributions to our world. Watching everything come full-circle is a fantastic reason to get up in the morning."
