Semi Retired (pursuing personal interests unless something more intriguing comes along)
Summary
I am a versatile and highly successful leader with strong technical, business, sales, and creative
abilities. I adapt quickly to new business and technical environments. I have strengths in creative
problem solving, research, solutions development, and tech to business "why should we care"
translation. Soft skill strengths are in coaching and development, building strong team dynamics and
creating a sense of mission.
My passion is in taking seemingly disparate ideas or people or products and connecting and aligning
them in new ways towards solving for a need or opportunity that creates something new and
meaningful.
Experience
Semi Retired (pursuing personal interests unless something more intriguing comes along) at SelfEmployed
May 2021 - Present (3 months)
The time arrived in 2021, a few years ahead of schedule, when I no longer had to work. I decided
to step into early retirement to recharge after several decades in the IT world. I'm taking time to
pursue personal avocations like photography, and the travel that goes along with that. However,
I'm also open to any intriguing new leadership roles where I cloud provide a big impact and would
be both rewarding and challenging for me. If you need a leader for emerging tech or leading edge
solutions, let me know.
