DON VAN WINKLE

Those experiences with family dynamics, reengineering of a culture, signing on for $5 million in debt, and navigating around a severely dysfunctional wholesale relationship-all in pursuit of an eventual transitional exit-left a brand on me that will always exist... My role may vary with different engagements, but my purpose is always the same: to support the CEO and/or board of directors in achieving their goals and building shareholder value. I have served as an interim or transitional CEO or CFO in some instances. In others, I am the behind-the-scenes advisor or coach to the CEO or Board Chair. I may also become an active member of the board, a Lead Director or simply a strategic advisor to the Board or to the CEO.
