I served as the President and CEO of Oasis Solutions,
a leading provider of business software solutions and professional services since May 1991.
I served in every function of the company, first as the inaugural customer service and implementation consultant, then in a sales and marketing capacity.
Under my leadership, Oasis’s footprint has expanded to 15 states, including the purchase of several Sage partners. In June 2014, I led Oasis into the cloud software space by adding NetSuite and Adaptive Insights to the Oasis portfolio of products.
My final function with Oasis was steering the business through a successful ownership transition. My passion for helping clients achieve their business goals has translated into creating a course to help other business owners understand the process from price to exit.
There are many things that need to be considered after you determine the valuation:
- Who will buy the business?
- What is the culture of the business?
- How will you navigate the transition in leadership?
- If selling internally or to family, how to train them to be leaders.
My goal in selling my business, was to build a solid foundation and leave a lasting legacy. Your legacy is not just the business you've built, but the leaders you've developed.
I have become certified in Emotional Intelligence and I am creating awareness about Emotional Intelligence with training classes for leaders. I provide an assessment and collaborate with the leader to understand the results. Emotional Intelligence is one of the most important pieces of leadership.
I am also the Chair of the HR committee and the Business Gifts Committee as well as Board Member for The Home of the Innocents, one of the biggest non-profits in Kentucky In my spare time, I play tennis, pickleball and enjoy boating and travelling. My husband and I have purchased an interest in 4 race horses. We are in Kentucky, you know!
