General Interests
"I'm interested in global business strategy and the strategic alignment of human resources. This includes particular focus on change management and talent development - programmatically for organizations and personally for individuals. My Knox liberal arts education is the foundation of my approach as a business executive. Now, I'm energized to share my business experience and liberal arts perspective with students as another element of their Knox education."
