About

Proven CEO-level leader with Fortune 500 and private-company experience, leading global teams and driving profitable growth through strategic, cultural, and organizational transformation. P&L responsibility to $1B+ with $100M+ enterprise spend. Proven in scaling businesses, executing turnarounds, building high-performance leadership teams, and delivering sustainable results across operations and technology. I’m passionate about translating potential into results—building organizations where strategy, culture, and talent come together to create meaningful opportunities for customers and employees. Selected Key Achievements • Turnaround & Value Creation: Stabilized nearly a decade of business decline at AgReliant by rebuilding culture, partnerships, and strategic focus; led ownership transition to accelerate future growth and now leading North America integration. • Enterprise Transformation: Successfully executed global change management and enterprise SAP S/4 delivery across functions and geographies as executive business lead. • Margin Expansion: Built and launched Corteva U.S. multi-channel seed strategy, delivering aggressive synergies, improved market focus, and significant profit margin growth. • Organic Growth: Rebuilt regional organization across five Latin American countries, doubling sales and profits in 2.5 years while revitalizing talent and culture. • Global Platform Scaling: Led global strategy and technology development, more than doubling revenue through organic growth and M&A.
