My Story
I help executive leaders and companies bridge the gap between their unique strategic purpose and the demand for outperformance.
OUTPERFORMANCE EXPERTISE
As a veteran C-suite executive, I understand the increasing level of complexity facing today’s high-performing business leaders.
I’ve spent my career leading a wide spectrum of companies through inflection points of monumental growth and unprecedented downturns in markets; reorganizing inefficient, high-priority departments; spearheading innovative product development and rebranding efforts; and developing strong alliances across the largest and most respected organizations.
YOUR TRUSTED RESOURCE
Each executive position and company presented a different challenge — and opportunity — yet in every instance I helped change the course of business by aligning our resources to the unique company strategy.
Now, after successfully experiencing it all, I help business leaders around the world unlock their business strategy to create their own level of organizational outperformance and executive success.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
Throughout my career, it has been a great honor to be recognized as an individual expert and executive leader. A few notable awards include:
- Inaugural recipient of the FCS Jamie E. Depeau Leadership Award for ‘helping others to think big, break down barriers, and perform at their highest potential.’
- The Ivy College of Business Women in Inspiration Award for ‘making a significant impact in [my] career while inspiring other women in business to become leaders and reach their full potential.’
- Gramercy Institute 20 Rising Stars in Financial Marketing.
- Inaugural recipient of the FCS Jamie E. Depeau Leadership Award for ‘helping others to think big, break down barriers, and perform at their highest potential.’
WINNING THE TALENT SHIFT
While on a short hiatus from my time in the C-suite, I wrote a book for our daughter to help her navigate a career in business. A highly candid and personal account of my professional career as a leader, mentor and researcher, it was soon discovered, published, and distributed across the globe, achieving a #1 ranking and listed as a Top 100 Best Company Culture Books of All Time by BookAuthority.
To date, it has helped thousands of leaders — from mid-level managers to the senior-most executives and CEOs — successfully navigate today’s most challenging cultural challenges at work and remove their own barriers to success. A second book is scheduled for release in 2023.
I am also a contributing expert to numerous publications and podcasts across the globe in the field of leadership, diversity, company culture, and corporate strategy.
