关于
As the strategic force behind transformational executive careers and organizational growth, I combine 20+ years of leadership expertise with an intimate understanding of what decision makers seek in top-tier talent, having guided hundreds of C-suite leaders through career pivots, board readiness, and strategic visibility-building. My unique perspective stems from walking in my clients' shoes having driven organizational strategy, championed mergers, and delivered substantial revenue growth.
My extensive governance experience includes serving on 30+ boards and committees, providing strategic guidance and fiscal oversight of $1B+ to institutions ranging from 3Rivers Federal Credit Union to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Northern Indiana. Currently serving as Vice President of the Westfield, Indiana Police Department Merit Commission, I oversee critical personnel decisions including hiring, promotion, and disciplinary action for 80+ law enforcement officers—demonstrating my expertise in high-stakes talent management and organizational integrity.
What sets me apart is my rare combination of executive presence and practical insight. My background spans corporate HR, leadership development, executive search, and board director roles across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth organizations.
My strategic vision has guided numerous organizations toward progressive change and innovation, significantly impacting their mission and financial performance. My expertise in comprehensive communication, implementation, and negotiation ensures scalability and sustainable success.
Recognized for outstanding support by the 122nd Fighter Wing Blacksnakes of the Air National Guard, I bring unwavering commitment to excellence in every engagement. My training in transformational leadership coaching, strategic leadership, and Strengths coaching from prestigious institutions including the ICF, Loyola University Chicago, and Gallup underscore my commitment to professional excellence.
As a sought-after speaker, I regularly address executive leadership, career strategy, and breaking into the boardroom. I lead exclusive roundtable events and private coaching sessions designed to empower senior professionals to lead their careers as intentionally as they lead their teams and companies.
I am passionate about executive engagement, leadership development, and community impact. My approach ensures every client engagement is tailored to the unique goals and challenges of each leader, delivering high-touch, high-impact results that transform careers and organizations alike.
