I really like the idea of being able to provide an experienced perspective to smaller and mid-sized growing companies. I've been very fortunate in my career to be able to work in dynamic, rapidly growly, entrepreneurial environments so I know how important it is to remain focused on the ultimate vision of the organization and the business owners.
