      I managed revenue-generating relation- and sponsorship programs promoting our litigation, forensic, tax and accounting services to global law firms. Recognized by PwC's Chairman’s office for outstanding community service and the resultant relationships with business and community leaders, my mantra became “no better way to develop business than to serve on Boards with your clients where, together, you make an impact on society, broadcasting your firm's name and deepening your community footprints".

I also consulted on ROI on client relationship and business development activities. One of my favorite clients was Frost, Ruttenberg & Rothblatt, so I joined the firm.
