About Me
I built my career in a system resistant to change—a public-sector startup in financial services regulation, bound by tradition. While others embraced the status quo, I couldn’t. I leaned into what I did best: introducing new leadership approaches, driving digital transformation, and mastering communication.
But driving change isn’t easy. I faced skepticism, resistance, and the uphill battle of pushing bold ideas in an environment that wasn’t ready for them. Over the first 20 years of the Commission, I led some of its most transformative initiatives, growing my influence—even when the system pushed back.
And I see the same challenge everywhere: visionary leaders stuck in structures that don’t recognize the value of their ideas.
I know what it’s like to feel like an outsider.
Here's how I can help:
✔ If you’re ahead of the curve but struggling to turn vision into action…
✔ If you’re leading in a system that wasn’t built for you…
✔ If you know you’re capable of more but feel trapped by expectations…
I help professionals like you turn frustration into strategy, navigate resistance, and execute with precision.
🚀 You don’t need permission to lead the future. Let’s build it.
Beyond leadership, I’m all about big adventures, bold flavors, and great conversations.
Whether it’s traveling to a new city, diving into a memorable food experience, or getting lost in a deep conversation that challenges how I think—I love discovering what the world has to offer.
When I’m not speaking or writing about leadership, you’ll find me exploring new places, trying dishes that tell a story, and surrounding myself with people who bring fresh ideas and sharp perspectives.
