Professional Experience:

Did you know only 3% of professional services firms train on business development? Only 8% of attorneys and lawyers have a business development plan. I have successfully helped firms change that. My/Our goal is: Have me make the firm 3-4x more revenues then the cost of my services. Twenty years in successful international legal services, business development, policy advisor to governments, and team building in multi-cultural settings. Projects included successful design and drafting of fifty+ proposals and responses to RFPs. Global, US and European business/tax planning for international and domestic clients. Experienced self-starter who is organized and professional under tight, demanding guidelines, and frequent travel. Superior internal and external communications skills. Advanced writing, media and public speaking skills. I am a people person; team builder and likeable person who works hard and enjoys life!
