Vistage Chair for Boston Leaders I Executive Coach | Team Catalyst My journey into leadership began in the military, where I witnessed firsthand how good leadership can unlock potential, push people beyond their limits, and lead to profound self-discovery. I also experienced the impact of poor leadership—how it stifles growth, creates frustration, and leaves untapped potential on the table. These contrasting experiences ignited my passion to understand the intricate mechanics of leadership and human behavior. Today, I’m dedicated to helping leaders not only uncover their true potential but also intentionally shape the kind of leaders they aspire to be driving change, inspiring others, and making an enduring impact.Vistage Chair 💼 I lead a peer advisory group for CEOs and business leaders in Boston.

To help them uncover what’s really getting in the way and turn obstacles into opportunities for growth, connection, and impact. Through deep introspection, candid feedback from key stakeholders, and a touch of honest reflection, we reveal strengths, blind spots, and untapped possibilities.Team Coaching 🌟 In my team coaching work, I help leadership teams go beyond surface-level collaboration to create genuine, lasting alignment. I bring teams together to have the real, honest, and often challenging conversations that spark breakthroughs.

My goal is to cultivate a culture where team members bring out the best in each other and themselves—setting the stage for meaningful impact and the kind of magic that drives organizational success.
