Practice/Organization Description

Problem-solving senior executive seeking a new challenge. What I am known for is that I get things done quickly, efficiently and well. The companies I've worked for or with range from pre-revenue start-ups to Fortune 50 conglomerates.

Significant Board and business and legal strategy experience. Strong people skills, leader, motivator and team-builder.

Career Summary:

Most recently, I helped lead The Mortgage SuperCenter, a retail financial services company. Previously, I helped build E-Solutions Integrator (ESI), a software development / technology services firm. ESI split in two to become a publicly-traded firm, Cambridge Technology Enterprises (ticker: CTE.NS) and CellExchange, which remained private. Prior to that, I spent many years as a corporate, securities and real estate lawyer with Day, Berry & Howard (now Day Pitney LLP).

I started my career in commercial real estate development and property management and also was an audio engineer with United Nations Radio and Television.
