"Never a fool if paying attention."

Frank is an Executive Coach and dynamic facilitator. Known for his ability to present familiar concepts in such a manner as to give "life" to the content and spark renewed and sustained interest.

Early in his career, Frank launched an innovative software development company partnering with Microsoft to introduce the first image editor for the Windows OS. Upon selling the company to Micrografx, he became its SVP of Sales, Marketing and Services for the Americas. He delivered 50% corporate revenue growth during his tenure and led the company through 7 product launches in 15 months resulting in 8 major industry product awards. He negotiated a joint venture with Hallmark Greetings and helped launch the first generation electronic greeting card. Frank was recruited to IBM through its venture capital group to bring commercial success to its multimedia effort in the consumer channel. There he established licensing agreements with Marvel Comics, Houghton Mifflin and Big Entertainment, positioning the studio as both a content developer and publisher of CD-ROM interactive titles. Frank led a team of top engineering talent and Hollywood production veterans creating unique live-action gaming experiences licensed under the IBM logo.

"I just wanted to say thank you for the coaching sessions and being patient with me throughout this process. In the beginning, I feel I didn’t have much of a defined path in my career, but that gradually shifted and changed as our sessions progressed. I appreciate the tools you gave me to help me become a better leader and team contributor. I am excited to continue using these tools and share them with my own team. I look forward to our growth here."
