"Building successful, sustainable businesses is hard work. There are no shortcuts or easy buttons. There is also nothing more rewarding, in every sense of the word. Leading a team from ideation to launch to become a high performing, high growth organization where customers happily exchange dollars for the solutions founders and their teams envisioned is the ultimate team sport. I have been very fortunate to be a part of several such teams and am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to assist Volition backed companies achieve their dreams."

"Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with gifted and visionary technology entrepreneurs. Building great companies is extremely difficult, but it is work worth doing -- and it takes the right team to be successful. Volition was a great partner for us at Insite Software -- so the chance as an operator to join Volition to support and resource our portfolio founders and executive teams is very exciting and purposeful for me."
