Change Agent Des

I help companies get started, restarted, or grow to the next level. I have run organizations from pure startups to $25 million in revenue. Though not by nature a short-term type person, because of a decision to live for a few years in Europe, since 2000 I have completed over 35 interim CEO and interim COO roles in the US and abroad. Sometimes I am the interim CEO. Other times I am the interim COO, helping the founding CEO take their organization to the next level. My industry experience is broad, including: sustainable home goods, ultra-efficiency air conditioning systems, dynamic public transportation, consumer eCommerce, neighbor-to-neighbor car sharing, mobile devices, wireless communication, mobile content enablement SaaS, a not-for-profit start-up accelerator, sound masking, medical devices, software, middleware, computer-telephony, speech recognition, electronic ink, computer hardware, video games, and electronic device monitoring. Whether interim or long-term, I'm an agent of change. I do well at bringing focus and order to an organization, at creating products that leapfrog the competition, and at driving revenue. I hire well and I lead people to achieve aggressive goals, recognizing that every company is ultimately a group of dedicated individuals.
