With over a decade of experience in the aerospace industry, I have navigated complex challenges, led transformative growth, and built successful teams across continents.From scaling a company from a small team of 3 to a global organization with $100M in annual sales, to opening subsidiaries in the US and Australia, I’ve been at the forefront of strategic leadership and innovation. My journey has taken me through the intricacies of Series A-C investment rounds and the responsibility of managing a $500M portfolio in public aerospace. These experiences have shaped my deep understanding of what it takes to thrive in high-pressure environments.But my true passion lies in helping others achieve their own success. At MBD Consulting Group, I offer a range of coaching services designed to address the unique challenges faced by women in the mid-stages of their careers. Whether it's navigating organizational politics, developing executive communication skills, or enhancing personal branding, my goal is to provide the tools, insights, and support necessary for my clients to excel.I believe that every woman has the potential to lead and succeed on her terms. My work is dedicated to unlocking that potential, one coaching session at a time.
