A NOTE FROM your consultant…
Leaders must quickly learn, or determine, the priorities and value drivers of the firm's constituents and shareholders and then bring passion, every day, toward meeting those priorities and maximizing those value drivers. The Cole Consilium is skillful in these areas and would welcome the opportunity to work with you and your organization.
I am a proven leader with extensive experience, thirteen years of which in executive positions, including general manager positions with Profit and Loss (P & L) responsibilities of $500M-$1B in organizations with greater than 1200 employees in multiple locations.
People describe me as results driven and an impressive developer and motivator of people. I also have diverse experience in business plan development and operational efficiency as well as M & A business integration and exiting businesses.
As a business leader, I have found some of the most rewarding aspects of my job to be teaching, developing and mentoring. I retired from my industry executive position to explore opportunities which enable me to consult and to teach while taking advantage of my extensive leadership and business management experience. I am looking for opportunities to apply my experience and to assist organizations in an advisory capacity or in short-term assignments.
I am very results driven with particular skills in developing and motivating people toward sustainable excellence. My strengths include creating and driving a performance driven culture, business strategy development and execution and organizational effectiveness. I am also skilled in program and product management.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU!
