I've worn your corporate shoes.
For over 20 years I loved the corporate chase and mastered every lofty goal that came my way. Sales...marketing...business development -- paths that allowed me to drive clear, bottom-line results and develop high-performing management teams. Along the way, I:
- held top leadership roles with U.S. Leasing and AT&T Capital
- launched and managed two highly successful national businesses
- as President and Chief Operating Officer, led KeyCorp's high-technology equipment finance unit
- chaired the Equipment Leasing Association's Small Business Council
- was selected as a New York capitol region outstanding executive
Excerpt, A Letter To All Employees
Patricia’s care for, and development of her direct reporting
and business unit staff are second to none. I wish we could
find a way
to capture her personal and professional acumen and replicate
the same in the future leaders of our company.
Paul Larkins
CEO, Key Equipment Finance
Success came as a result of hard work and good mentors. Managers who willingly shared the unwritten rules of the road -- and stretched me to make sure I applied them smartly.
In fact, the support I received was a key reason why, seven years ago, I chose to become a career counselor and mentor. It's an opportunity to give back -- and help other professionals achieve their career aspirations.
