SMEs have accompanied me all along my career entrusting to me their destiny, and I have made a point of pride and pleasure to support them, for 25 years in my profession with Fox Horan & Camerini LLP offering solutions to their challenges and giving them a public voice through WUSME. I know intimately their DNA, I am passionate about the brilliant solutions they develop in a heartbeat, and I suffer with them when lack of resources. I have made my career’s goal to help my SMEs overcome their impasses and to accompany them to succeed beyond their expectations.
