Global executive with 25+ years of experience leading ~$1B P&Ls, driving growth, and transforming underperforming businesses across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. I have been trusted by boards and CEOs to deliver enterprise-wide turnarounds, scale operations through M&A, and integrate multi-billion-dollar acquisitions, while building cultures where people thrive.
My career spans industrial, building technologies, HVAC, security, AV and consumer solutions, where I’ve:
• Doubled revenue to $875M with 2,800+ employees in North America.
• Delivered EBIT turnarounds from negative to double digits through customer-centric growth and operational excellence.
• Led integrations of acquisitions ranging from $15M to $2.3B, plus a $4.5B global transaction.
• Accelerated time-to-market by 50% for product launches through R&D and supply chain realignment.
• Raised employee engagement scores 40% above global benchmarks by building high-trust, empowered teams.
A U.S. citizen, I’ve lived and worked across three continents and thrive on bridging cultures, building talent pipelines, and driving sustainable impact.
Known for curiosity, resilience, and a hands-on leadership style, I bring the ability to translate vision into execution, delivering measurable results for shareholders, employees, and customers alike.
