Inspired by change

“It is not the strongest of species that survives, not the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. Those who have learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.”

– Charles Darwin

I never work alone.

Next Act Advisors has access to a network of seasoned executives, corporate intrapreneurs, board directors, service providers and thought leaders. Many share a common purpose to contribute to the next generation of corporate intrapreneurs and by working with founders and teams on identifying the inner growth levers resident in the company’s product and services and talent from a center of integrity.

With over 25 years of operational experience in Corporate America and Europe, my skills have been successfully applied to the businesses and clients I serve; including private equity owned and founder owned companies, and time spent serving as a corporate board director.

A “boomer” repurposed to “digital native”, I am able to work with O365, Teams, Google hangouts, Webex, Zoom, (I had a professional account way before the pandemic); Slack, Hubspot, Salesforce and I even have worked in Trello.

Everything has been invented before –

it is about a methodology; skillset and strategic mindset connecting the dots and bridging ideas created in the lab, or garage and scaling them in a new digital world.

Flexport CEO Ryan Peterson at SaaStr 2019 was quoted:
“I am convinced that there are large chunks of the US GDP that have yet to be transformed digitally.”

What aspect of the GDP are you trying to transform digitally?

With gratitude,
