CEO, President, COO
Atlanta, Georgia
I run companies and own the result.
As President and COO I have run companies with the full P&L: strategy, product and technology, commercial, finance, legal and people. I have bought companies and integrated them. In the last six years three of my companies changed owners, and each time I stayed on, to integrate it into the buyer or to align the operating cadence with a new PE owner.
Where I fit
I enjoy leading companies where growth has outpaced the operating model that built them, and that is where I do my best work. It happens at different moments: a new owner, an acquisition to integrate, a founder ready to hand over, a commercial engine that has to scale, or AI that has to work in daily operations.
Those moments require more than strategy. They require leadership capable of aligning people, technology, execution and capital into a stronger operating system.
At that point the company needs one person who makes the calls across all of it, M&A included, and owns the result. That is the job I enjoy most and do best.
M&A, both sides
Each one has its own page.
| 2025 | Infinite Athlete / Biocore President & COO | Integrated Biocore and earlier acquisitions, then sold to Exos in October 2025. I owned transaction preparation, led diligence, and co-led negotiation and close. |
| 2023 | PWCC / Fanatics Chief Operating Officer | Fixed the integration of earlier acquisitions, then sold to Fanatics and integrated into Fanatics Collectibles. More than $450M in annual GMV and more than $1B in appraised assets under custody. |
| 2021 | iGrafx VP Product, then SVP Product & Technology | Banneker Partners invested in 2021, and we aligned our operating cadence with the new owner. We then bought Logpickr, a process mining company in France, and I led its integration. Product portfolio from 20 to 3, net revenue retention at 122%. |
Now
Today I advise companies through B7i and serve on three startup advisory boards. My next full-time role is as CEO, President or COO of a company at its next stage of growth, a change of ownership or an integration.
