Success story
I’m a skilled problem solver and excellent at driving alignment across all organizational levels. In previous roles, I worked closely with each leader to mediate and fix conflict. Once the interpersonal issues were improved, I launched a leadership planning process to get the team aligned on our shared goals and purpose. In the end, I turned around the team to help us achieve significant growth and eventually sell the business.
