I work hard to build trust and achieve consensus by open and honest communication. I promise to lead with thoughtful diligence and appropriate creativity to deliver competitive advantage, and not to follow the herd toward mediocrity. I believe that sound governance principles and effective work processes are the foundation of superior compensation plan designs and performance outcomes. I hope we have the opportunity to get to know one another and have a successful long-term relationship.
