Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the great fortune to be part of successful technology companies that either went on to trade on public markets (Dendrite Cegedigm, Connect Inc., SuccessFactors) or were acquired by public companies and private equity investors (Extensity, Birst, ServiceMax). I thrive in the thrill-a-minute world of high-growth software companies that face stiff competition on the road to market leadership. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame,  my career started in IT and customer service.  Later, as a VP of Sales, I developed my passion for sales leadership and go-to-market strategy.

In 2014, I joined 10X CEO® as COO and, eventually, CEO of ServiceMax; I learned that skills, focus, and your team separate the top 1% of leaders from the rest and create the 10X return that top companies enjoy. Humility, transparency, and authenticity are crucial to developing your talent as a leader and growing every day. Like an athlete, you need to train, analyze, and perform to be the best CEO. The power of the 10X CEO® peer network was critical to my decisions about commercial strategy, talent, and work environment. 

I joined the program as a Managing Director in 2020 and became a Partner in the business in 2023.   They say that being a CEO is one of the loneliest jobs in business. I know that being a CEO is the hardest and most rewarding profession you can choose.  I became a coach to help CEOs develop their craft as leaders, not just ensure the success of their companies.  CEOs need someone they can trust to accelerate their learning and support them through the many choices they make every week and remind them of their progress and success.
