The Through-Line
Nearly two decades helping leaders navigate the transitions that reshape their companies.
Chapter I
Suburban Bank & Trust · 2006–2013
The Operator
Started as an operator with direct accountability for performance inside a community bank. Built the data and analytics foundation that transformed gut-feel management into performance-driven decision-making. When the 2008 financial crisis hit and competitors were contracting and failing, helped leadership play offense — identifying new revenue streams, redesigning incentives, and growing demand deposits by $30M+ while peers were shrinking. Launched mobile banking to 24% customer penetration in six months.
When the landscape shifts, most organizations freeze. I help leadership teams find the opportunity inside the disruption and move on it. That pattern started here — and it's never stopped.
Chapter II
Sirius/Forsythe · 2014–2018
The Architect
While most organizations were still debating whether "digital" mattered, helped build a digital strategy practice from zero — no team, no pipeline, no brand. Equipped a legacy sales force to sell something entirely new. Helped companies across financial services, entertainment, and healthcare solve pressing challenges — from standing up third-party risk management for a top-five U.S. bank to enabling a global entertainment brand to build an entirely new B2B sales channel.
I got in early, rolled up my sleeves, and helped build the thing — inside an organization that wasn't designed for it. That's exactly what AI demands.
Chapter III
Grant Thornton · 2018–2021
The Transformer
Digital disruption was creating a clear dividing line — banks that moved early were pulling away, and the ones that hesitated were losing ground fast. Guided a $27B regional bank through a comprehensive digital transformation — from C-suite strategic planning through product launch — helping elevate the institution into the top 20 U.S. digital banks. Partnered directly with the Chief Digital Officer to rebuild the digital organization and deliver end-to-end automated origination, driving 10%+ of new customer growth through a channel that didn't exist before.
I don't hand off a strategy deck and move on. I stay from design through execution and own the outcome — including shaping the board and C-suite conversations that unlock investment and alignment.
Chapter IV
Accenture · 2021–2025
The Partner in the Room
Moved into manufacturing, semiconductor/high-tech, and biopharma — advising Fortune 500 technology executives at their most consequential inflection points and generating $5M+ in annual advisory impact. Played a central role in a simultaneous M&A integration and carve-out for a $41B semiconductor firm. Uncovered $102M in cost-saving opportunities for a global manufacturer. Supported the largest bank merger in Canadian history.
I've earned the trust of senior leaders when the stakes are highest and the margin for error is thinnest — regardless of industry.
Chapter V
Fujitsu · 2025–Present
The Conviction
Every major disruption creates a dividing line — the companies that move early and the ones that spend years catching up. AI is the most consequential inflection point yet — and the pattern is the same. The technology is never the hardest part. Getting leaders to align, decide, and move with conviction is. I embed with the C-suite, help them see the opportunity inside the disruption, build conviction across the leadership team, and drive execution until the strategy becomes reality.
Every major disruption creates a dividing line. I've been on the right side of that line through three consecutive waves: the financial crisis, digital transformation, and now AI.
