About

I am a Managing Director leading Accenture’s Chemical Industry business in the Midwest Market Unit. I am accountable for Accenture’s strategy, talent development, growth and delivery for our Chemical clients in the region, including overseeing a team of client account leaders and directors responsible for connecting Accenture’s solutions with our clients’ business priorities. I focus on helping C-suite executives address the challenges facing their companies today, particularly those at the intersection of business and technology.

Prior to my Chemicals Portfolio Lead role, I led Accenture’s SAP Business across our North American Resources Operating Group. In addition, I have had various roles leading global client account teams and serving as the Client Account Lead across a number of our Resources clients.

With over 27 years of experience, I am an experienced Managing Director and Senior Technology Consulting Executive working with some of our largest global clients in the Chemicals industries to develop, plan and lead the execution of large, complex, global digital transformation programs and business improvement initiatives.

Based out of Cincinnati, I live with my incredible wife and two amazing boys. Outside of work, you will find me running, golfing, as well as enjoying great food and wine.
