The Mindset I Bring
Some say it takes sheer willpower to drag yourself out of bed for a 6am trail run in the rain (in winter) - and they’d be right. That same grit, perseverance, and determination is exactly what I bring to my career too: the drive to keep pushing boundaries, even when it’s uncomfortable, to achieve the results that really matter.
That mindset has defined how I approach my work. I’ve built a career by stepping into businesses at pivotal moments and creating clarity, alignment, and momentum. I stay focused on outcomes - and bring others with me on the journey.
I’m often told I have a rare combination of strategic vision and sleeves-rolled-up execution - and I take pride in proving that true by delivering meaningful results.In both work and leadership, I’ve found this mindset to be a super strength: seeing what’s possible, and keeping the business moving toward it.
