General Manager @ EquipmentShare

About

I’m an experienced leader with proven success driving change management and operational transformations that deliver significant improvements in business performance. I recently joined EquipmentShare as the General Manager and am excited to be part of a forward thinking organization. As a leader, I approach my roles from a human-centric perspective, while never losing sight of operational realities. People are the foundation of a successful business, so I make it my mission to understand people’s strengths and ambitions and then create opportunities for them to thrive while achieving business objectives. In addition, coming from a background that touches multiple industries, I’ve had the opportunity to build, overhaul, and transform workflows, processes, and systems in a wide variety of contexts. As a result, I consistently drive cost reductions by streamlining and optimizing operations. I credit a large degree of my success to my ability to collaborate effectively and create operational synergies. Whether I’m tackling a human-centric challenge or an operational one, I seek to bring cross-functional leaders and managers into the conversation, pooling our creative resources and encouraging buy-in on final solutions.
