LEARN MORE ABOUT US
I am a consultant and senior executive with 30+ years of diverse experience leading operations and management of various organizations. I have invested in businesses and real estate to foster their growth and harness profitability. I have consulted with senior leaders and other stakeholders to build and implement successful strategies for billion-dollar enterprises.
In my current work as a consultant at Set Free Consulting, I collaborate with client brands to reevaluate and establish strategies for profitability. I specifically worked with one brand with previously failing financials and garnered $20M value and worked with another client to increase revenue 10X in only 2 years. I also have an extensive history working in real estate development, where I championed additional land for 2 high net-worth individuals to construct a $1B development.
My strategic planning, process improvement, and business development skills pave the way to build sustained organizations.

By the time we had completed Strategic Planning and Leadership, it was clear to me that we had adopted “success thinking”. We have just completed two very strong months in succession. In fact, this month was our best net profit month in our 79-year history!
