“Curiosity over fear.” If my career has a tagline, that’s it. As Vice President at Softway, I oversee HR and business development, and support client projects through strategy, talent management, branding, communications, and tech ideation. Whether it's a talent conversation or helping a client solve a business challenge, my common thread is helping fellow humans get to their next level, and beyond. I lead teams that are consultative, collaborative, and outcome-oriented. My passions have led me to a place where I get to explore, learn, and create in multiple business areas. I've developed specialties in advertising, digital strategy, digital marketing, marketing automation and technology, social media, innovation, sales, HR, change management, and internal communications. In 2018, Softway created a radical and unique leadership transformation experience called Culture Rise (formerly known as Seneca Leaders). As a member of the Culture Rise team, I traveled to 8 countries to facilitate these sessions over 10 months. Developing leaders across so many different cultures was an education in itself, and made us even better at delivering the most empathetic, effective, humans-first products and services for our Softway clients.Most recently, I’ve been able to share my experience as a co-host of Softway’s new podcast, “Love as a Business Strategy” (www.softway.com/laabs). We discuss all the highs and lows and in-betweens of creating human-centric tech, empathetic leadership, diversity and inclusion, and so much more. We often feature friends/special guests— elite-athletes and legendary coaches, business-turnaround experts, and stars from our in-house talent on their superpower techniques we can all borrow.In my career, I have been privileged to work with the following clients and industries:- Tech (HP, Microsoft, Adobe, Uber)- Healthcare (Houston Methodist)- Staffing/HR (Adecco, Randstad, Airswift, Intersect Group)- Telco (Vodafone)- Energy (ExxonMobil, Entrust, IADC)- Manufacturing (Caterpillar, Daikin/Goodman, Behr)- Financial Services (GE, Bank of America, Fifth Third)- Restaurant & Hospitality (Popeye's, SHR)- Entertainment (NBCUniversal, Style Network) Want to learn more about how Softway’s talent and experience can help your company with culture and inclusion?
