I build companies.

I'm looking to move away from San Antonio. Currently taking consulting/interim engagements, but really looking to move to a more permanent situation elsewhere. I've been focused on building a network in the mid Atlantic area (Philly -> Raliegh, centered on DC) in an attempt to locate a suitable position.

Ideal positions:
COO/CEO
EVP/SVP
Corporate Development
Private Equity Operating Partner
Strategy consulting or internal Corp. Strategy.
M&A/Capital Development
Integrating acquisitions/rolling-up companies into the corp. environment.
