I’ve achieved success in my career by cultivating, nurturing, and sustaining trusting relationships globally with a shared goal of executing on product vision at the most superlative level. I offer a uniquely holistic leadership approach, balancing my highly creative side with a business savvy lens. In my experience-rich career, I’ve had the pleasure of travelling to numerous countries world-wide to grow businesses and drive brands forward. Known for my artistic design perspective paired with a keen business sense, I always ensure product excellence while maintaining an uncompromised commitment to quality and design. I enjoy tapping into my more innovative side with each challenge I approach, allowing me to uncover cutting-edge solutions. Frequently complimented on my ability to remain firm, assertive, and unwavering without offense, I deliver on business goals often within strict deadlines and tight parameters. My negotiations skills in particular have been the catalyst to my success, as I have achieved substantial cost optimization and efficiency in nearly every role I’ve taken. As an empath with a high level of emotional intelligence, I foster an environment in which my peers and direct reports feel safe to seek my input, comfortable taking risks, and self-assured that I will advocate steadfastly for their well-being. I love empowering and igniting teams to perform at the highest levels through thoughtful mentorship, constant support, positive influence, and leading by example.
