When the opportunity arose to join the Flywheel Strategy team, I didn’t hesitate. I love the value and approach the team takes to help support businesses, small and large, achieve success. 

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with regional businesses, in the startup space and for a multi-billion dollar company. These experiences helped me understand the challenges businesses face at various phases of their growth trajectory. 

My focus has been on developing business development strategies and accelerating partner growth. I have worked to build and lead a national portfolio of channel partners and built business development strategies from the ground up. 

Whether your company is looking to develop new business development strategies, or refine existing processes, I am up for the challenge.

My strategy and execution expertise span various aspects of business, including: marketing, business development, sales and partnership ecosystems. This end-to-end execution has enabled me to help businesses identify, forge, scale and sustain business development and partnership strategies.
