Creative Planning Business Services

As a Senior Business Manager, I’m focused on building and leading a Business Development Representative (BDR) team to drive sales growth and expand market reach. I also work closely with franchise and co-op dealer networks, helping them streamline, automate, and outsource key business operations to improve efficiency and profitability.

Beyond growing the dealer network, I also design and implement sales enablement programs, equipping sales teams with the tools, training, and automation they need to close more deals and scale their success. My role is helping teams perform at their highest level through BDR development, dealer support, or strategic sales enablement initiatives.

Executive Director (Contract)

From a dusty backyard with a worn-out tire to the corridors of modern businesses, my journey has been anything but ordinary. As a kid, I didn’t have the innate talents some of my peers did. Instead, I found my strengths in persistence, waking up early, throwing that baseball, hitting a golf ball, and pushing myself to run miles before sunrise, so I could be active enough for my kids.

That drive is what led me to the world of business. My curiosity often prompts questions, such as how a business can automate its processes to grow or how leadership dynamics can change the trajectory of an organization. I've worked with businesses to modernize their core functions and, more importantly, to tap into the potential of their teams. To me, leadership isn’t just about guiding—it's about recognizing and valuing each member's contribution.

Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for organizations wanting to break through their status quo. Be it aligning a C-Level team or diving deep into organizational health, my approach is always rooted in real-world understanding and experience.

And when I’m not immersed in business strategy? I’m at home, a proud keeper of The Greenlee Zoo. My pets—a motley crew of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon—remind me of the diverse challenges and joys of life. They've taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of finding joy in the small things.

In essence, I’m a firm believer in growth, change, and the potential in every situation—be it in business or life.
