More about me.

I help leaders turn bold ideas into lasting impact.

With 20 years of experience, I’ve led executives and teams across innovation, design, customer service, digital transformation and HR at Nike, FedEx, Apple, Samsung, HP, Bosch, AbbVie, Nestle Purina, through some of their most complex challenges — translating lofty visions into tangible results.

As Partner at IA Collaborative, I helped scale the consultancy while leading its largest client relationships and delivering breakthrough work, like launching an award-winning autonomous delivery bot and reinvigorating a global tech company’s digital innovation pipeline.

My expertise lies in connecting the dots between business strategy, human insight, and operational execution, creating clarity at 30,000 feet while moving seamlessly into action on the ground.

My superpowers?

  • Design and innovation are in my DNA and how I approach every challenge

  • I synthesize real-time, complex concepts
    and strategy into executable actions

  • I lead with purpose, empathy, and a
    people-first     mindset

  • I see the gaps others don’t, and solve for them

  • I bring calm and confidence in moments
    of chaos and ambiguity

  • I build trust-based relationships that outlast even the most challenging projects

Thought Leadership &
Industry Recognition

Beyond client work, I speak and write internationally on leadership, innovation and design,
