About:
Executive coach and three-time Chief Learning & Leadership Officer helping CEOs, senior executives, and HR leaders through succession, transitions, and growth.
My Experience. My Perspective. My Impact.
My career has been shaped by leadership roles at the intersection of business strategy, organizational development, and human performance.
As a three-time Chief Learning & Leadership Officer, I have led enterprise leadership, talent, and organizational development initiatives in complex corporate environments.
Today, I bring that experience to my work as an executive coach, advising and coaching CEOs, C-suite executives, and senior leaders navigating the demands of leadership, organizational change, succession, and growth.
My approach combines the perspective of someone who has sat in the executive chair with the discipline of a professionally credentialed executive coach.
I understand the business, the people, the pressures, and the decisions that shape organizational performance.
A Career Shaped by Leading Inside Complex Organizations
Throughout my career, I have worked in complex corporate environments where leadership effectiveness, organizational capability, and business performance are closely connected.
Throughout my corporate career, I partnered with CEOs and senior executives to build leadership capabilities, strengthen executive pipelines, and align talent strategies with business priorities. I held senior leadership positions, including Director, Managing Director, Vice President, and Senior Vice President, at organizations such as PwC, Bank of America, Grant Thornton, Rockwell Automation, Verizon Wireless, and Hewitt Associates. Across these environments, I worked at the intersection of enterprise strategy, leadership development, organizational effectiveness, and business performance.
Having led at the highest levels of complex organizations and run a business myself, I understand the realities of executive responsibility: the decisions, competing priorities, organizational dynamics, and expectations that come with leading at the highest levels.
Leadership Begins With Self-Awareness
I believe the most consequential work of leadership begins with understanding ourselves.
Experience, expertise, and professional accomplishments may earn someone a leadership position. What determines their effectiveness is how they think, how they respond under pressure, how they build relationships, and how they influence the people around them.
Throughout my career, I have seen talented executives struggle not because they lacked intelligence or capability, but because they had not fully recognized how their behaviors, assumptions, and decisions affected others.
My perspective on leadership is grounded in self-awareness, accountability, curiosity, and the willingness to challenge our own thinking.
The strongest leaders never stop learning. They remain open to feedback, recognize their blind spots, take responsibility for their impact, and understand that leadership is measured not only by what they accomplish, but by the environment and people they develop along the way.
