For over twenty years I’ve been helping top business executives (and men and women whose goal it is to become a top executive) improve their writing skills and presentations, both formal and informal. I'm a graduate of Dartmouth College, Engineering Science; I have an MBA from Columbia University and an MS in International Administration from NYU. I'm a former Vice President of Strategic Planning for Citibank, I authored the bank's Ten Year Strategic Plan and personally presented it to the bank’s Board of Directors who approved it unanimously. An article I wrote appeared on the Op Ed page of The New York Times, and other pieces I've written have appeared in The Financial Times, American Banker, other distinguished publications and academic journals.
I've also enjoyed an extensive career as an International Consultant to Fortune 500 companies in the US and Europe and have been a successful entrepreneur in several different industries. While an Active Duty Reserve Officer in the US Coast Guard I taught at the US Coast Guard Academy; all levels of Economics from basic to advanced and I also developed and taught the Academy’s first course in Operations Research. I have native fluency in Ukrainian and functional fluency in Russian and I lived and worked in Kyiv, Ukraine for a decade.
I'm available for assignments days, evenings and weekends as needed.
