I always start with values. I’m a Midwesterner. Determination, hard work, kindness and integrity. That's me. And why is it important in the context of being a fractional operator? Because my values are present whether we're talking about a three month engagement or a 30 year relationship; it doesn't matter, there's nothing temporary about my values. I'm also a servant leader. I deeply believe in the idea that if you grow your team, you grow your business. That approach is the sustainable way to grow a business, and I think that mentality is the epitome of being a servant leader. I also like to help people grow. I think about what I can do to serve this individual or this team in front of me, and I bring that no matter what the circumstance. I'm a generalist. I've done everything from build major marketing campaigns to leading 100+ person operations. I've done M&A work and growth operations, and everything in between. I think to be a generalist is to be inquisitive. I love learning, and in the context of being a fractional operator, it allows me to get up to speed quickly. To be a generalist is also to have good pattern recognition; I know what questions to ask and I really thrive in a dynamic environment. Finally, I'm a builder. I've had entrepreneurial endeavors of my own and I know what it takes to bring something from nothing to something. I have a great and immense respect for what that takes, and I bring that reverence and that excitement for building to everything I do.
