Over 20 years of senior leadership roles within corporations and private equity that involved managing, investing in and advising both private and public middle-market businesses in the United States and Canada in a wide array of industries. Executive leadership experience has been concentrated in businesses undergoing significant transition driven
by growth opportunities and/or the need for intense operational and financial restructuring; all with a goal of increasing shareholder value and placing a business on a path to sustainable profitable growth. Currently, I am the EVP & COO of School Specialty, Inc. (OTCQB: SCOO), a leading distributor of innovative products and services to the education marketplace with nearly $700 million of sales. Over the last 5 years, our team has reversed years of revenue declines with driving an aggressive cost reduction and process improvement initiatives. I was elevated to the Chief Operating Officer position after serving as the Company's Chief Financial Officer for 2 years.
