Compensation by cash, equity in your company and/or stock options. Each case is different and the terms can be negotiated to fit your financial situation. I am willing to work at a substantial discount for Not-For-Profits





I am a team player and willing to work with you and your staff to be self-sufficient. I am amenable to longer term employment, but I believe most early stage companies do not need a full time COO or CFO. The key is to get your business operating efficiently and productively as soon as possible.





My resume is available upon request and I have excellent references from previous employers.
