Hire me

For more than 15 years, I have helped C-suite, government, and non-profit organizations navigate through times of transition, to build the right culture and organizational structures to deliver on their business strategy.

MY VISION is to create programs and projects that bring humanity, connection, and purpose into all aspects of work and society.

MY APPROACH is to ask the right questions and listen to a wide array of voices. I challenge long-held assumptions to create imaginative breakthroughs and believe in storytelling as a vehicle for increasing understanding and empathy. I am a builder of teams and people to get things done.

I also serve on the boards for Many Hopes, which rescues and empowers children in 5 countries, and Two Tunics, a family foundation dedicated to faith-based and social justice initiatives. I'm passionate about healthcare, education, and diversity & equity issues.

Much of my spare time is spent learning about wine and hosting wine pop-up events. I hold a WSET Level 2 certificate and am studying for Level 3.
