What Guides My Decision Making: We constantly evaluate every opportunity from the perspective of how we can create a meaningful impact and strengthen the bonds within Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. It’s about serving with purpose and making a lasting difference.
Favorite Quote: “Look at all things in life for the opportunities they can create rather than the challenges they present.”
What Motivates Me: What drives us is the relentless pursuit of building something greater than ourselves, something that serves our communities for more than profit. It’s about using our resources and influence to serve with purpose, humility and a deep commitment to the people we represent.
Most Important Leadership Quality: We believe leaders are at the bottom of the organizational chart. Our role is to support the incredible work of our team members every day, partnering alongside them to tackle every opportunity, big or small. Leadership means being accessible and transparent, leading by example and consistently modeling the values and behaviors that define our organizational values.
