CFO & In-House Counsel

Leppo, Inc.

Deputy Director

Summit County Department of Job and Family Services

A distinct view and the ability to succeed in a complex world is an advantage that I bring to any organization. Many stereotypes plague individuals who receive assistance. Regulations and laws can complicate the ability to assist individuals in need. The truth that we all face and must navigate is the stark difference between those who need assistance and those who are eligible to receive it. My career has been built by learning to navigate the differences and specializing in programs to impact as many as possible. The ability to share my journey and what I have learned over the last 20 years can help organizations avoid delays and pitfalls in their mission.
