Enterprise Leadership for Businesses in Transition
How I Lead
I build and transform complex, regulated businesses by converting organizational priorities into operational change. My role is to connect strategy with action across revenue, operations, sales, finance, technology, risk and talent, then establish the decisions and accountability required to move the whole enterprise forward.
Â
My career has moved between building companies, turning around underperforming businesses and modernizing organizations for markets that have already changed. Across operating, ownership and advisory roles, I have led seven turnarounds and three exits and influenced more than $2 billion in capital and revenue.
Â
I bring an entrepreneurial mindset to established organizations: act with urgency, make the hard decisions, fix foundational processes and own what happens next. Meaningful change, however, is a team sport. Durable performance comes from giving people shared priorities, clear authority and measurable accountability.
Leadership Philosophy
My philosophy is simple: align the enterprise around the few decisions that matter most. Strategy that never becomes an operating decision is just an opinion. My job is to close that gap and make the result visible in the business.
An Integrated Operating Model
Strategy, operations, technology, people and capital are not separate workstreams. They are one operating system. Transformation stalls when each function solves its own piece without addressing the constraint affecting the whole business. I start by identifying that constraint, then align the parts of the enterprise that control it.
AI-Enabled Modernization
I have been applying AI and automation inside operating businesses since 2014. The objective is practical: improve decision quality, reduce friction, strengthen control and produce an economic return. That work has included digital mortgage workflows, production automation, origination systems and technology decisions tied directly to margin and customer experience.
Domain Expertise
Mortgage banking is the deepest part of my experience, including origination, production, capital markets, servicing and regulatory recovery. That foundation extends into fintech, banking, insurance and commercial real estate. I have helped lead a depository bank through regulatory cease-and-desist orders, built and exited an insurance business and operated a real-estate development company alongside my mortgage career for more than a decade.
Availability
I am focused primarily on permanent and fractional President, COO, CEO, CSO and comparable enterprise leadership roles in multiple industries, including mortgage, fintech, and beyond. I also consider select interim, board and strategic advisory opportunities where the opportunity calls for direct operating involvement.
