I am a founding managing director with Protiviti, a global consulting firm. Prior to that, I was a partner of long standing with Arthur Andersen. A lifelong Texan, I have an abundance of curiosity about how accomplished people lead and succeed. I enjoy sharing business insights and have written on many topics, including corporate governance, board oversight, strategy setting, business planning, performance management, disruptive change, enterprise risk management, technology issues, financial and ESG reporting, internal control and compliance. I love working with talented people who are focused on solving complex problems with innovative solutions. I believe life is an adventure, success is truly magical, and the combination of high performance organizations and the diverse, inclusive teams committed to integrity that enable them is a beautiful thing. I have traveled to over 45 countries and love to experience other cultures.
