I’m a partnerships professional and people manager with an appetite for details and a dedication to building relationships infused with compassion. Running my own production company taught me that deals close and projects move forward based primarily on relationships, which in turn must be backed up by the professional delivery of results. I’m a natural salesperson, motivated by new markets and ambitious targets, and my extensive network in the US and Canada includes business, government, higher education, arts and innovation contacts.I have a background in performance and writing, yet I delight in a well-crafted spreadsheet. This left-brain/right-brain coupling means I bring resourceful, out-of-the box solutions to strategy and stakeholder relations. I prefer a full plate to a spacious schedule, and my near-photographic memory serves me well when managing multiple clients and campaigns.
