about

Driving competitive edge and intelligent technology solutions.

As an information technology executive and long-standing entrepreneur with many years of leadership experience at Fortune 50, national, and start-up companies (Target, Best Buy, Scottrade, Whirlpool Corporation, Abbott Laboratories, Creators Capital, NS LUXE), I listen, collaborate, and provide vision that leads to impactful change. I typically collaborate with my peers, aligning the right technology solutions within business plans to deliver meaningful results against shared enterprise targets. I’m guided by these core principles: Satisfying Customers, Cash Generation, Profitable Growth, ROIC & Common Sense Leadership. I consider myself an intrapreneur at the companies I choose to serve.

I most recently served as the Head of IT for the global Neuromodulation business within the Medical Devices division at Abbott Laboratories. The therapeutic technology from Neuromodulation at Abbott Laboratories touches millions of people worldwide daily. Neuromodulation at Abbott helps people with chronic pain and movement disorders live their best lives through better health. Whether the need is improving foundational infrastructure, advancing digital transformation, or using artificial intelligence for enhanced decision-making/product development, I leaned in for the win.

I currently serve as the Head of IT for Structural Heart again within the Medical Devices division
at Abbott Laboratories.

At my last company at Whirlpool Corporation, I led B2C & B2B eCommerce Tech for a $12B business, including Whirlpool, Maytag, JennAir, and KitchenAid.

Finally, I’m living a purpose-filled life without regret and focused on being my best every day. I chose to be fulfilled through growth relationships, empathy, and letting go for a better tomorrow.

I’m ready for what's next. Let's connect.
