For 35+ years, I have applied my strategic thinking, customer-first focus, collaborative leadership, problem-solving and execution skills to advance the objectives of the companies and community boards that I serve—from Fortune 250 powerhouses to startup firms to nonprofit organizations. My expertise spans strategic planning and execution excellence; strategic partnerships; brand, marketing and communication strategies and program execution; M&A communications strategy and execution; thought leadership and PR programs; executive communications and positioning; and crisis and reputation management. I have enjoyed working in and learning across multiple sectors—financial services, healthcare, education, professional services, tourism and hospitality, consumer goods and arts organizations. I am noted for assembling high-performing teams, building a positive culture and supporting professional growth. Delivering a strategic focus, outstanding experiences, authentic communications, and operational excellence, I help organizations provide real value to the customer and build trust, engagement, advocacy and investment among stakeholders. As Executive Director of the Legacy Advisors Network, I lead and advance initiatives that deliver best-in-class programs to support our member firms, including strategic planning, marketing and communication, network growth, operations and member services. Leveraging the value of our national network, our advisors can best serve their clients—privately held and family business owners. Our advisors coach and empower business owners to make sound financial decisions about their largest asset—their business. By first getting to know each owner’s unique story and objectives, advisors can help them understand the value of the business; identify how to protect and grow it; evaluate succession options; and work with the owner to implement a customized, step-by-step plan to help them achieve their goals and dreams.
