Consulting

I help organizations build workplaces where people do their best work and the business is better for it. My work brings together people strategy, leadership development, and organizational culture: the systems, habits, and conversations that shape how work actually gets done.

My background bridges over 8 years leading global teams at Google and consulting experience across a wide array of sectors, including financial services, healthcare, technology, fashion retail, industrial and commercial services, construction and nonprofit.
