I provide PERSUIT's sales and customer success teams with the information, training, coaching, and tools needed to help in-house legal teams make the most of their outside counsel management program.

I am a creative, focused problem solver. Some organizational problems require recommendations, hands-on support and/or training from an expert with tried and tested best practices under her belt. Others are better supported with coaching that can allow for sustained, resourceful decision-making and longterm independence at the individual level. Often it’s both. Depending on the issue at hand, I work with individuals and organizations to help solve their problems and scale across sales, revenue operations and professional development through experienced consulting and coaching practices.Recent clients:• Bangor Savings Bank Payroll SaaS (Sales Training) - Bangor Savings Bank was founded in 1852 and has 54 branches across the state of Maine with roughly $6.1 billion in assets.
