I’m a strategist, operator, & organizational partner to executives and their ambitious teams who are navigating scale and change.
Over the last 15+ years, I’ve been the person founders and exec teams call when there’s a big but fuzzy idea, a fair bit of internal friction, or too many smart people moving in different directions.
I’ve built internal teams from scratch, designed brand-defining programs, and embedded operational rigor inside growing orgs on the brink of breaking. I’ve led customer experience, business operations, and GTM strategy functions across multiple ventures.
Whether I’m supporting a founder, a leadership team, or an entire org, my work is grounded in systems thinking, relational intelligence, and a deep belief that how we work is just as important as what we’re building.
Believe it or not, I cut my teeth at The Onion. I managed licensing and digital projects, and was the first to ask the question “how do we extend our brand on this new platform called Twitter?”
Boutique consulting in digital transformation and experience design came next. I led high-stakes innovation projects for companies like Nike, FedEx, BMW, and Dexcom (where my team earned a data viz design patent).
Since then, I’ve helped position multiple growth-stage tech startups for acquisition and funding. My work at startups has allowed me to flex into different functions, lead blank-slate new ventures, get up close with customers, and untangle up all sorts of organizational messes.
Somewhere in the middle of all that—in the time-space blur of COVID—I ran my own executive coaching and org development consultancy, taught MBA and EMBA students, coached leaders from Google to Visa to Genentech, and stepped into (and quickly out of) the speaker keynote circuit.
I hold an M.S. in Organizational Learning & Change from Northwestern University and live in NYC with a fat cat named Tater. You’ll usually find me at rock shows, exploring NYC restaurants, and nerding out on niche scientific or world history podcasts.
