I help leaders turn bold ideas into lasting impact.

Let's Chat

Experienced and ready to lead your critical initiatives — without the long-term hire.

High-stakes projects, tight deadlines, and unexpected or interim leadership gaps can leave even the most successful teams stretched thin.

I step in a variety of roles, from a Chief Strategy Officer to a Strategic Program Lead to bring clarity, align teams, and deliver.

The result: focused progress, decisive action, and outcomes that create lasting impact.
