Description

I help organizations identify the right leaders, develop the ones they have, and build the systems that make both stick.

With 15+ years spanning leadership assessment, executive coaching, organizational effectiveness, and curriculum design, I work with senior leaders and their teams to close the gap between where they are and where the business needs them to be.

I specialize in:

• Leadership and executive assessment (Hogan, Behavioral Essentials, Blindspotting)

• Succession planning and talent identification

• Organizational diagnostics and team effectiveness

• Executive coaching and development planning

• Designing and delivering leadership programs that create measurable behavior change

I've built and led programs inside Fortune 500 companies — Kraft Heinz, Motorola Solutions, Astellas Pharmaceuticals and delivered independent consulting across growth-stage and enterprise organizations. I bring the same rigor to a PE portfolio company evaluation that I bring to a long-term leadership development engagement.

What makes my work different: I don't just assess - I translate data into action. Whether that's a development plan for a high-potential executive, a succession recommendation for a board, or a redesigned leadership program that actually changes behavior, I connect the insight to the outcome.

I've worked with leaders within the following organizations as a consultant:

If you're navigating a leadership transition, building capability ahead of a growth phase, or evaluating management teams - let's talk.
