Advisor, Investor, Coach, and former Technology Executive
I love technology, building organizations, and designing solutions to problems. I served as a technology executive, helping grow, scale, and sell a midsize Government-focused technology solutions firm.I'm passionate about noble efforts, like helping the Government better serve Americans (I’m so proud of Halfaker and Associates’ great work improving the experience of Veterans) and charities become more effective.I love drawing on whiteboards, iPads, and scraps to paper to decipher, brainstorm, and communicate problems and solutions.I get excited helping organizations mature to be more focused, effective, and resilient (e.g., Business Architecture, Business Process Re-engineering, Process Improvement, Strategic Planning, CMMI)I love technology and finding ways to use it in novel ways.
