I grew up on the East Coast, went to a small liberal arts college where I majored in Geography and minored in Studio Art. I also played four varsity sports in college, and that is where I formed my leadership skills and learned all about teamwork! I still play ice hockey, and I enjoy many creative pursuits, spending much of my free time playing guitar, taking photographs, surfing and coming up with innovative ideas. I believe that there are three essential components to a fulfilling life: curiosity, creativity and a strong connection to community.I've always been fascinated with ships and trains and trucks and things that go. When coupled with a love of maps and cartography, this led me to a career in supply chain -- a multi-disciplinary topic that touches, one way or another, every company and consumer on the planet. It's highly dynamic and challenging: perfect for innovative technology-based solutions to solve problems and open up new opportunities.I currently lead the Supply Chain Team for the Accenture AWS Business Group (AABG), a joint venture between Accenture and Amazon. Our team's goal is to accelerate end-to-end adoption of AWS and their pan-Amazon supply chain capabilities, while helping clients maximize enterprise-wide transformation and innovation, securely, at speed and at scale. My charge is to develop a comprehensive GTM strategy, capability set and execution plan with AWS in the areas of physical and financial supply chains. In a second role, I am also on our GTM team for GenAI, where Accenture is partnered with AWS to help our joint clients realize the potential value of this emerging technology. In this area we're leveraging capabilities such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Titan, and a range of third party LLMs from partners such as Anthropic, Cohere, Meta and many others.
