Companies Transformed
Not long ago, I was another high achiever trapped in the corporate labyrinth—an engineer with an MBA, chasing someone else's definition of success. While my resume sparkled with Fortune 500 names like Apple and Southwest Airlines, something inside me knew there had to be more than optimizing other people's dreams.
As Founder of Chief Rebel, I bring my background in engineering and operations to the complex world of business transformation. I specialize in guiding small business owners and startup founders through their toughest challenges, delivering results that drive growth while maintaining cash flow.
Through Chief Rebel, I've built more than a consulting practice – I've created a community of transformation-minded leaders. My approach to consulting extends beyond traditional business metrics. While I help companies optimize operations and drive growth, I'm equally passionate about using these skills to strengthen our community.
