As the founder of BeSpace Consulting, I guide organizations through complex, unpredictable challenges that impact every aspect of business today. My work equips organizations to navigate uncertainty with resilience and adaptability through strategic foresight and leadership development. As strategic counsel, I partner with executive teams in long-term engagements to set strategic visions, foster sustainable cultures, and drive decision-making processes aligned with long-term goals. My planning and analysis work involves developing strategic plans grounded in systems thinking, landscape assessments, and experimental methodologies to help organizations respond effectively in an evolving environment. Additionally, I design and facilitate leadership development cohorts, offering immersive experiences that strengthen leaders' adaptability, systems thinking, and design skills, and enhancing their abilities in complex problem-solving.

NewImpact was formed to change the way the world finds opportunities and solves problems through tri-sector solutions. I was brought on to stand up the Innovation Strategy Consulting team within the organization. Our team was tasked with engaging leading business and government innovators, philanthropists, policy experts, and social entrepreneurs to develop and scale new solutions to pressing problems. I lead a portfolio of strategic projects covering complex challenges such as equitable workforce development, housing justice, data solutions governance, and economic mobility.

Path Forward was founded in 2001 and has since delivered the Path Forward Leadership Workshop (PFLW), a 12-month cohort-based program, to over 1500 graduates. In 2019, the founder approached me regarding my work in mixing systems, strategy, and leadership development. We joined forces on expanding the PFLW to create the Executive Stewards Program, explicitly tailored for top leadership to participate as a leadership team. The Stewards Program, is an immersive experience of group learning, coaching, and challenge within an intact executive cohort. The Program expands the scope of the PFLW to include bigger-picture concerns and opportunities that are discovered as the cohort dives deeply to understand and craft a desired future for the cultural, structural, and leadership environment in the organization.

SecondMuse is an innovation agency designed to tackle complex problems in the social impact space.
