ADVENTURE AWAITS

From a young age, I’ve always had an intellectual curiosity for how things work and how to make them work better, easier, more efficiently.

My early career began in engineering and design then took a quick turn into project and sales management. Working internationally across the globe proved to be very challenging and stimulating. I’ve even lived abroad in Shanghai. After building a career that spanned industries, geographies, and various leadership roles working in multiple functional areas, I wanted to focus on my strengths and help others capitalize on opportunities. I transitioned into a role working as an independent with a single mission: to help businesses achieve meaningful, lasting change.

With over decades of experience, I specialize in simplifying complex challenges, aligning leadership and strategy, and transforming teams from within.

Leadership is about more than just business— it’s about real people, with a purpose, and making progress together.

  1. Lead with empathy—relationships are the cornerstone of every transformation.

  2. Leverage strengths, close gaps—focus on what works, and bring in expertise where needed.

  3. Perspective matters—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

  4. Accountability, not excuses—we move businesses forward, no blame games.

Not just “advice” from the sidelines— I fully integrate with your team, making your goals my goals. With a unique blend of emotional intelligence, leadership, and business acumen, I’m able to empower and lead your teams and drive real, sustainable change.

The goal is to get you to the next milestone and be able to move forward from a better position of strength and knowledge and capability.

The work doesn’t end when the project does. The focus is on lasting transformation, ensuring that your team is stronger and more capable when we step back.

With a diverse background and experience, I’ve worked with a lot of different and wildly successful leaders and individual contributors over the years. If I don’t know something or need help, my network is at OUR disposal to help us figure it out and get you closer to your destination.

Your team’s success is my top priority. Whether you need leadership, mentoring, support, coaching, or a tailored strategy to navigate complex challenges, help is a click away. Let’s unlock your business’s full potential—together.
