As a businessman and executive for technology, software, cloud, and service companies, I am passionate about helping companies increase their value, improve customer loyalty and build a success culture that makes employees enjoy working in that environment. As an executive or on a consulting project, I develop and execute market, strategy, and product plans with tactical growth programs, increasing top line revenue and margins. I do this through a combination of tools and techniques that I have developed in my career, one of which is called “customer jujitsu.” while helping companies bridge technology and business into an innovation mindset.
C-LEVEL EXECUTIVE FOCUSED ON PROFITABLE GROWTH
As Managing Director for C-Level Partners, a business consultancy, I help corporate executives drive value creation by helping them see different paths to success and helping them manage those growth paths. During my career I built top in-class marketing and business organizations with a foundation of analytics and metrics that demonstrate ROI and support business goals. And I commercialized more than $1.5 billion in new products during my career. My international experience extends to Europe and Asia.
I want my business epitaph to read: He is a builder of businesses, a teacher to the next generation of business leaders. I give back to executives and teach marketing at Camp Pendleton through the Marine Executive Association; being a mentor at the UC Irvine Merage School of Business; and an Expert in Residence at UC Irvine Applied Innovation. I am also involved with the Medical Information and Intelligence Institute at Children’s Hospital of Orange County and the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs as part of my work with TechCoastAngels.
I just published a new book called StreetSavvy℠ Business: A Way to Prevent Corporate Mediocrity based on my cable business TV show, my business practice, and my blogs.
