Professional Experience
For more than 20 years, executives have relied on me for coaching, advice, and counsel to navigate challenges that impede strategy execution. I develop frameworks, share insights and expertise that result in improved organizational performance.
- Delivering leadership development in the C-suite gives me strong insight into business dilemmas and the competencies required for success.
- I provide organizational assessments and other forms of analysis.
- My consulting experience shapes how I help enterprises position for the future amid shifting markets and stakeholder demands.
My sustained success as an entrepreneur provides the ability to deeply understand questions of viable innovation, scale, and emerging strategy. I lead organizations through transformational change. Outcomes include:
- Enterprise-wide impact that aligns strategy and operations.
- Creation of pipelines for key positions through succession planning, talent management, executive development, and related organizational effectiveness interventions.
- Performance and productivity improvements driven by the fostering of a healthy culture that supports strategy, mission, vision, and values.
Two decades of consulting to private, public, and nonprofit organizations, combined with board service, make me adept at weighing ESG objectives without losing sight of profit and growth. I also bring public policy experience from four years as a lobbyist for the League of Women Voters, having served among a group of twenty lobbyists presenting the League’s nonpartisan positions to elected officials in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
