By appreciating every viewpoint, I am able to seek solutions that are acceptable to all parties around the table.

I am expert at risk assessment/mitigation and asset management, especially in complex fluid situations. I am responsible and accountable for making decisions and finding creative solutions that require strategic judgement. As a board member, I have steered two major project companies through start-up and significant challenges.
Trusted Advisor
As a Senior Management Executive, I have successfully built teams and developed new markets. I have advised major public entities in their evaluation of alternative project delivery, PPPs. My track record and interpersonal skills are the foundation of a strong market profile and broad network.
Key Negotiator
As a capable negotiator, I have facilitated financial closes for numerous notable transactions and reached resolutions for disputes of ongoing projects during construction and operations.

I believe that no project is impossible when you have the right team or people behind it.
