Chief Strategy Officer in Saint Paul, Minnesota

Watch my reel

I like to say I am a misplaced cultural anthropologist who has found a life in strategic leadership. In my work I seek to surface, understand, and challenge the underlying assumptions that create organizational culture and drive decision making. I then use this information to develop strategic and operational plans, align leadership to implement and evaluate those plans and create a culture of accountability and execution. I believe that when we work to understand our assumptions we are able to support positive development of organizational culture.

As strategy leader I have a proven record of success at using my skills to develop strategy, re-imagine operational models, and implement effective and data-driven tactics. I excel at building alignment to support strategy and developing relationships both in and outside of my organization to facilitate implementation.

I seek to be a part of organizations who are interested in improving lives and society by filling unmet needs in innovative, sustainable ways.

I am an experienced executive team member with the proven ability to collaborate across executive functions, lead and develop effective teams, and am an effective and popular speaker and presenter.
