13 Principles to Transform Your Culture

In a world where a competitive advantage often evaporates in less than a year, companies can’t afford to spend months at a time crafting a single long-term strategy.  To stay ahead, organizations must objectively look in the mirror at their positioning, strategy and business mode.

I work as a strategist, advisor and coach to numerous companies in the consumer package goods industry. I am the founder of the Elevation Forum leadership group that provides counsel and insight to many of today’s top growth companies.

I have spent over 10 years uncovering the blueprint for emerging growth companies, and the best practices of creating elite customer relationships. I chronicled my learnings in my first book Dark Horse: How Challenger Companies Rise To Prominence.

I started my career with GlaxoSmithKline, served as VP of Sales and Customer Marketing at GOJO Industries, helping to build the PURELL brand and assisted with the corporate turnaround of Dentek Oral Care. I look forward to better understanding if I can assist you in elevating your sales operation to an elite level.
