He has held many management positions over the course of his career where he has experienced firsthand the myriad of frustrations that come from working with unmotivated, misaligned and unproductive employees. These experiences have created in him a strong desire to optimize our modern business environment so that managers and employees can focus on the exciting and rewarding aspects of doing business.
