As an entrepreneur. I strive to lead by example, making even the most difficult business decisions based upon what is ‘right’ for all stakeholders, knowing from experience if I do that and inspire others to do the same, success will follow. I advocate for responsible growth and am a champion of ‘Sustainable Commerce’ - when we gain, we give back. As a business, I have gone left, right, down, and now ... 'up' next.
