I've spent 20 years operating at the highest levels of corporate America — building strategy, shaping public policy, and driving the kind of influence that actually moves things.

Anheuser-Busch. Carnival. Ford. Tyson's. Waste Management. Five global companies. One constant: connecting boardroom decisions to real-world outcomes.

External affairs. Public policy. Advocacy. Communications. Philanthropy. That's my arena.

Barry University. Cornell. Georgetown. Harvard. UCLA. The education never stops — because the problems don't either.
