Strategic Compliance for Gaming, Cannabis, and all High-Growth Manufacturing Sectors
High stakes.
High growth.
Clear sight.
I have spent nearly thirty years at the seam between business and government — from The White House to manufacturing advocacy to building two of the most scrutinized regulated industries in Massachusetts. Compliance is not a bottleneck. Done right, it is a competitive advantage.
Core areas of expertise
Built from the regulator’s chair
Strategic Regulatory Alignment
A leader on two teams that built two multi-billion-dollar state regulatory frameworks from scratch — gaming and cannabis. I know what regulators look for, because I wrote rules and enforced them.
Crisis & Turnaround Leadership
Stepped in as Acting Chair of a politically charged agency in turmoil and stabilized it: cooling friction, aligning teams, and keeping operations moving under public scrutiny.
Economic and Workforce Development
Thousands of jobs built by workforce programs co-designed with industry and the communities they serve to build wealth for the communities that host them.
The record, in short
Executive leadership spanning the White House, municipal and state economic development, state commissions, and industry.
A founding architect and regulatory pillar of both the Massachusets Gaming and Cannabis Control Commissions, each 100+ staff and ~$20M budgets.
Combined annual value of the heavily regulated consumer markets built and overseen by me and my teams.
A unique executive perspective bridging private-sector industry advocacy with high stakes public regulatory oversight.
