Over 25 years of experience in basic, specialty & custom chemicals at Sunoco, Rohm and Haas, Dow, Monument

• • Proven success in public and private equity, domestic and international businesses

  • Building and running acquisition screening process

  • Building and running commercial processes - business development, CRM, account planning, 

  • Building and running strategic marketing processes

  • Expertise in all sides of custom and toll chemical manufacturing

My leadership style:  

• Go fast and focus on what is important… Complete “special” strategic projects as quickly as possible so you can hand the implementation back to existing roles and processes where they are more efficiently managed

• Form hypotheses and use what we know to test them.  Short interval project control and frequent formal communication – keep the timeline and the deliverables in front of everyone at all times.

• Project/investment risks will be quantified and communicated, and keep up-to-date

• Have fun!  Results are fun, and getting to them quickly is even more fun!
