About

I am a seasoned senior management executive with diverse experience in the telecom, wireless, online and broadcast media industries. I specialize in helping companies and organizations grow and diversify their products and services through strategic alliances and partnerships. I have held senior business development positions with major telecom and technology companies. I am expert at developing mission-critical strategies and initiatives; developing realistic execution plans with cross-departmental teams; structuring, negotiating and closing innovative agreements and managing resulting relationships.

I have extensive experience in assisting start-up and entrepreneurial businesses to position themselves for investment and launch. I provide business counseling, mentoring and analysis of business models and strategic plans.

The diversity of my experience also allows me to bring a range of skills to a non-profit organization. I have managed legal and regulatory affairs, business affairs and legislative relations. I have developed company-wide strategic plans and served as the secretary to a Presidentially-appointed board of directors. I have experience as a chief operating officer in both non-profit and for-profit organizations.
