Bringing my strong intuitive skills and the ability to think ahead, I innovate to achieve increases in client satisfaction and loyalty. Cultures that value an entrepreneurial mindset and are committed to fair and firm decision-making fuel my passion to work hard. After 20 years of marketing in financial services, I use my experience and talents to contribute to the vibrant, growing independent advisor community. As a Senior Marketing Manager at Schwab Advisor Services, I work directly with Sales Relationship Managers to advocate for and grow the Registered Independent Advisor (RIA) Industry. Previously as the Client Experience Director at U.S. Bank Private Wealth Management, I was responsible for building trusting relationships across the advisory teams at U.S. Bank and with clients. As a member of the leadership team, I advised and collaborated with executives, Private Wealth Management offices nationwide, and with the Voice of the Customer Office, to build a client-centric culture.I began my career in philanthropy as a charitable fund raiser for the American Cancer Society and I also worked for The United Way and the Cowles Media (parent company of the Star Tribune) Foundation in the Twin Cities.As a passionate supporter of organizations that empower women, I serve on the board of directors for TeamWomenMN - https://teamwomenmn.org/ (Check them out!). I grew up in a family of small business owners, where there was an expectation to always contribute, work hard and treated people fairly. These early learning’s shaped my strong work ethic and informed my leadership style.
