President at NPAworldwide
February 2009 - Present (7 years 7 months)
NPAworldwide is a recruitment network. We function as a taxable non-profit cooperative. That makes
NPAworldwide unique. Each member is also and owner and we have a member based Board of Directors
that set direction and engage in the operation of the business. On September 1, 2014 NPAworldwide
acquired the National Banking Network (NBN) which operated as the Accounting Career Network and the
Banking & Financial Services Career Network. Effective January 1, 2016 NBN was integrated fully into
NPAworldwide.
Recruiters join NPAworldwide to fill jobs and place candidates cooperatively with one another. We have
competitors but our beneficial differentiators are the worldwide reach of NPAworldwide and the member-
owned and managed nature of a cooperative. Ultimately members contribute revenue to NPAworldwide to
improve the quality and quantity of services provided by the network.
As President, I work with the outstanding staff to deliver operational excellence, membership growth and
increased profit for our members. We have been working on multiple technology projects to modernize
the foundation of the business including a membership database tool, a job and candidate sharing tool for
members, and our social media acumen and effectiveness.

January 2006 - January 2009 (3 years 1 month)
NPA is a worldwide recruiting network. Recruiters join NPA to fill jobs and place candidates cooperatively
with one another. NPA is member owned and as the EVP, I run the operation that creates tools, services and

growth and increased profit for our members.
