A little about me... I am an executive search consultant and global recruiting leader with proven success developing recruiting strategies and teams that identify and attract top talent within the semiconductor, high tech, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. My recruiting experience includes leading the global talent acquisition functions for public, not-for-profit, and privately held organizations. I thrive on the most difficult recruiting and selection projects and my expertise spans multiple functional areas with a primary focus on executives, highly specialized science and engineering leaders, and technical contributors. Before beginning my career in executive search and talent acquisition, I served in the US Marine Corps as a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Specialist. I was promoted meritoriously twice and was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant. I received my MBA with a concentration in leadership from Loyola University Maryland and I'm is a lifetime member of International Honor Society Beta Gamma Sigma. I began my undergraduate studies while serving on active duty and completed that work at the University of Phoenix, receiving a BS in Business Management. If we haven't met or connected, we should. "The best team wins."
