About

I’m a leadership coach, organizational whisperer, and change enthusiast with over 25 years of experience in empowering leaders and organizations to be their absolute best. My expertise spans executive coaching, organizational development, and change management, sprinkled with a love for facilitating transformation with a smile. From Fortune 500s like Disney and Warner Bros. to tech start-ups hustling for their Series C funding, I help clients tackle organizational puzzles with creativity and ease. When I’m not leading strategic breakthroughs, you’ll find me hiking trails, finessing my tennis game, or being unapologetically charmed by every dog I meet.
