I am a people person with a strategic / analytical mindset and a background in investments and strategy consulting. I've built a business from zero to $1B in assets and thrive as much on developing people as on managing projects. I've grown due to one son's catastrophic spinal cord injury, another's leukemia and moving internationally a number of times. Now I am taking over a business and expanding my volunteer work, both of which take me out of my comfort zone. I believe leadership is about inspiring and empowering your team.
