I can help you evaluate your business ideas, figure out what financial, legal, operational and staffing resources you will need, identify strategic and tactical plans, and provide you with guidance and mentoring to help you start and grow your business.
My work experience includes business development, marketing strategy, recruiting and staffing, strategic and tactical planning, project management, and team building in the consumer retail, financial and pharmaceutical industries. I have held senior-level positions in Fortune 500 companies and have extensive international experience, having worked in over 15 different countries, including a three-year assignment in Japan.
I am currently an independent business consultant and executive coach, and advise executives and managers on their management challenges. I am also on the faculty of Rutgers Business School, where I teach courses in management, cross-cultural communications, leadership, and global strategy.
As a SCORE mentor since 2020, I enjoy using my experience as a coach and mentor to help small business owners and entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams. I have helped clients in all phases of their business, from understanding the basics of starting a business, to implementing their business plans, to closing a business. I have a special interest in minority-owned businesses. I have served on the Board of the Young Adult Institute and was President of the Friends of the Manville Library. My hobbies include traveling, running (having completed three marathons), playing piano, as well as reading history and business books.
