I am a leader, innovator, and strategist who thrives on solving complex challenges and driving meaningful change. My background in engineering has shaped the way I approach leadership—seeing systems as opportunities for improvement, finding innovative solutions, and guiding teams toward ambitious goals. Throughout my career as a CEO, university president, and executive, I have helped organizations break through barriers, rethink possibilities, and achieve results faster than they ever imagined.

At my core, I believe leadership is about people. I invest in mentoring, developing high-performing teams, and inspiring others to go beyond their perceived limits. I bring this same mindset to every role I take on—whether leading institutions, advancing STEM education, or advising corporate boards.

Now, I’m focused on bringing my expertise to boardrooms that need forward-thinking leadership. I understand the balance between strategy and execution, innovation and governance, and risk and opportunity. I see the big picture while ensuring the right steps are taken to make it a reality.

My goal is simple: to help organizations grow, innovate, and succeed in ways they never thought possible.
