My Expertise

I am a program manager and strategy consultant with 15 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to execute complex multi-million dollar projects. I excel at diagnosing, prioritizing, and solving organizational challenges and cultivating strong relationships to improve how teams do business.

My Philosophy

I bring out the best in people to level up their projects and help organizations scale. I blend a top-down and bottoms-up approach to program management challenges:

• Alignment: work with leaders to craft a business strategy

• Accountability: translate the vision into an operational plan

• Execution: work with teams to make that vision a reality.
