Background:
"I’ve held top executive roles with Fortune 500 and Forbes 500 companies, before heading up River Walk Executive Search thirteen years ago. I started my professional career on the manufacturing plant floor, working shift work, learning business from the ground up. I’ve held positions from team manager in a manufacturing plant to brand manager and from HR vice president to CEO. This wide background provides me the ability to work in-synch with our Client Companies. I can provide them the insight they need to hire the best talent. My background also allows me to relate extremely well with top-performing Impact Players, and I provide them coaching and advice, all the while helping them advance their careers. I look forward to working with you."
Previous Employers:
The Procter and Gamble Company (14 years), NIBCO INC. (6 years), STBH Distribution Company (4 years).
