With over 25 years of global Human Resource and leadership development experience, I’ve held leadership roles with several Fortune 500 companies, privately-held organizations and a tech start-up. And I’ve experienced the impact that great leadership can have for individuals and organizations.
Through executive coaching, I bring my business acumen, leadership development experience and coaching skills together into one focal point - helping you reach your goals. In addition to one-on-one coaching, I work with organizations on their journey to develop exceptional leadership, cultivate high-performance teams and create innovative organizational strategies.
