Chantel

I have over a decade of experience in strategic-operations. I am adept at creating sustainable business practices through innovative operational improvements, adaptable tools/technologies, and clear communications.

I am an expert synthesist, able to pull disparate pieces into an understandable, rational system. Strategy is my core strength, which plays out in many scenarios where I build platforms and structures to enable those around me to do their best work.

My undergraduate degree focused on Geography, Italian and Business. I spent time living and working in both Europe and Asia. I have worked in many sectors: municipal, academic, non-profit, start-up, and even corporate where I spent seven years with a fortune-five software company. I am passionate about being in nature-- be it rock climbing, mountaineering, or cycle-touring. Why stop there? I am also an avid gardener, chef, potter, knitter and tango dancer. I am a trained Anusara yoga instructor. I hold an MBA in socially and environmentally conscious business, and I am a LEED accredited professional. I blog about shifting the work paradigm, and I currently live in Portland, OR with enough house plants to blur the line between inside and out.
