Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to build businesses, lead talented teams, and help organizations grow across the staffing, recruiting, and healthcare industries. From my early years at Robert Half to co-founding CardioSolution, experiencing its growth and acquisition, and investing in emerging businesses through Rev1 Ventures, every chapter has reinforced my passion for entrepreneurship, strategic leadership, and helping others succeed. As I explore opportunities to contribute my experience to corporate and advisory boards, I'm excited to share more about my professional journey, the lessons I've learned, and the values that continue to guide me. Here is my biography.
