As former Chief Administrative Officer/City Manager, I help municipal organizations build the knowledge and experience needed to deliver effective business and people practices that incorporate leadership and foresight from the start. I offer a number of services ranging from election management to service delivery audits including fair practice assessments. My passion is in strategic operations management, but I also have a strong background in information management and analytics along with Corporate Governance and professional ethics.
