Where I help
Experience is most valuable
when it creates forward motion.
My role is part coach, part strategic operator, and part truth-teller—bringing the pattern recognition to see what matters and the candor to act on it.
Strategy & growth
Market-informed guidance that connects brand, culture, commercial performance, and the realities of execution.
Culture & inclusion
Credible, business-centered strategies that turn inclusion from an aspiration into an operating advantage.
Governance & higher education
Board-level perspective for institutions navigating transformation, stakeholder trust, and long-term relevance.
Perspective earned in the room
A career built across business, brands, boards, and communities.
For more than three decades, I have led at the places where commercial ambition meets human complexity—from building brands and advising global businesses to advancing inclusion and governing a major university.
That range gives clients something rare: counsel grounded in operating experience, cultural fluency, boardroom judgment, and a genuine investment in the leader behind the title.
