As an accomplished C-suite executive, civic leader, and independent board director, I bring over 25 years of experience leading transformation, strategic growth, and delivering measurable results across both the private and public sectors. As Mayor of Westfield, New Jersey (2018–2025), I applied private-sector rigor to local government, delivering record-low tax increases, historic high fiscal sur
pluses, and leading a $400 million downtown redevelopment through a groundbreaking public-private partnership. I prioritized investments in automation, smart infrastructure, inclusive housing, and long-term sustainability initiatives, earning statewide recognition and multiple awards for planning and innovation. I also played a key role in advancing policy at the state level through executive leadership positions with the NJ League of Municipalities and the NJ Conference of Mayors. Prior to public service, I spent over two decades at HBO, where I served as Executive Vice President and a member of the CEO’s executive team. I led HBO’s $4.5 billion domestic subscription business, negotiated more than $10 billion in long-term distribution deals with major media and tech partners, and launched HBO’s first streaming services. I currently serve on several corporate and nonprofit boards and as an advisor to early-stage venture and leadership programs at several universities. I bring a unique blend of executive, civic, and boardroom experience, and thrive at the intersection of business and civic leadership where innovation, financial discipline, and collaborative governance are essential to building sustainable organizations and resilient communities. I’m currently exploring executive leadership and board opportunities that align with my passion for economic development, public transit, housing policy, digital innovation, and mission-driven growth.
