Personal Introduction

I work with legal finance companies to perform due diligence, review regulations and laws and help with contracts and servicing issues. I consult and advise attorneys and law firms to help increase their revenue and profits by better focusing their marketing efforts on the most profitable marketing channels. I have helped clients with litigation strategy including technology solutions that reduced risk and produced favorable results in the litigation. Because I have experience in a wide variety of industries including, financial services, insurance, legal, accounting, manufacturing, distribution, trucking, chemicals, telecom, plastics, defense, construction, aerospace, healthcare, business services, retail, real estate, mortgage, consumer services, publishing, automobile, computers and internet, I am able to analyze virtually any business and determine the most important levers of the specific business to increase profits. I have worked with start-ups to Fortune 100 companies to increase profits. I have helped grow a business unit from virtually no revenue to $100 million for a division of a Fortune 100 company by differentiating the product based on service. I have founded several companies and co-founded a company that grew to $400,000 in revenue in less than 6 months, eventually selling the business to a hedge fund. I am a dynamic communicator with excellent presentation, facilitation, and negotiation skills. I have acted as a trusted advisor and executive coach to CEOs, Business Owners and Senior Executives. I am a creative problem solver with a focus on solving problems in unique ways that help increase revenue and reduce costs. My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Risk Management, an MBA in Finance and Marketing and a Juris Doctorate in Law.
