Leadership

I love disruptive technology and helping companies find innovative ways to create addictive customer experiences. I’m grateful for the relationships I have developed over the years and continue to be inspired by quietly brilliant people. Having raised a family in Chicago, I’m passionate about increasing support for Public Education at all levels. In my spare time you will find me hacking it up on the golf course, hanging out with family & friends or taking an afternoon nap with the dogs.

I landed my dream job when we started Zennify. I lead a remarkable group of people with a uniquely special culture that seizes opportunities for innovation and delivers amazing results for every kind of business. I enjoy staying active in business and technology groups as part of the Salesforce Partner Advisory Board, the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, and the Sacramento Salesforce User Group. Spending time with my wife and three kids and following football keep me inspired!

I’m a people-centric, delivery person to the core. I truly enjoy growing high-performing teams and providing them support that leads to their success. Outside of work, I am an avid runner and fitness enthusiast, which has helped me (try) to keep up with my 4 boys. My wife and I are Rochester natives, both with large families that primarily reside in upstate NY. I enjoy my Harley in the summer months, try to find time to go fishing, and love a good book.

I am a proven global Chief Financial Officer with extensive experience in strategic planning & operations leadership, working in diverse industries, business transformation, and maximizing stakeholder value. I am extremely passionate about implementing finance and operations initiatives that improve processes, reduce expenses and drive bottom-line profitability.

I relate so well to this role with my hands-on operations, consulting and leadership background. Using my 14 years of network contact center management and 17 years of Salesforce experience, I love enabling our teams to deliver the best possible results for our clients, in a workplace they love and feel valued. It’s no secret that I’m a major dog lover, which drove me to hire our first CPO (Chief Puppy Officer). I stay inspired by spending time with my family of humans and pets and our amazing employees.

I love solving problems. And I love getting to know people. Doing both daily at Zennify is a dream. I’ve helped countless companies work through their toughest challenges by developing solutions that streamline their operations, improve their bottom lines, and empower their people. I stay inspired by building the Zennify team, teaching the next wave of problem solvers, and spending time with my wife of 16 years and 4 children.

I’m a technologist at heart. I geek out over the latest technology trends and share my love for digital innovation with my team to foster talent, diversify their skills, and provide opportunities for growth. I feel lucky to be part of such a dynamic and rewarding team. I keep my eyes on the future, but the support and love of my wife and daughter keep me grounded. In my free time, you’ll find me in my loft, guitar in hand, living out my rockstar dreams.

Creative problem solving is foundational to all parts of my life. When I got my master’s degree in design, I realized that unencumbered thinking, paired with tough challenges, yielded epic results. I love the art of the possible—when it comes with the execution to deliver. Outside of Zennify, I spend my time seeing as much live music as possible, enjoying nature, riding my bike, advocating for the em dash, and consuming all the tasty things with my 9-year-old co-pilot son.

From the beginning, Zennify has placed a great deal of emphasis on people. And it’s safe to say that supporting this talented team, building programs that engage people in their growth, and fostering development are what get me out of bed in the morning. Leveraging this passion to help scale our organization without losing sight of our culture and values has been a delight. I appreciate a good glass of wine and sometimes even a bad one.

In my early years, I fell in love with the wild west opportunities offered by technology to drive business growth. Decades later, it still delivers the thrill; our industry’s passion for innovation is why I’m at Zennify. Next to strong strategy, I firmly believe the quality of our communications and relationships are at the root of success in all endeavors. To stay inspired I love cooking challenges, far-flung travel, and working on my property.
