I love helping leaders and companies faced with opportunities, challenges, or both to create positive outcomes for themselves and their teams.My mission is empowering others to adapt and succeed. Sometimes that means carving a path through a big, ugly problem. Other times, the task is assembling building blocks to reach next-level goals. Every difficult situation is unique; every difficult situation benefits from a thoughtful plan.Nearly twenty years of experience as a strategic communicator, attorney, and engineer - in publicly-traded corporations and in private firms - have shown me the essential ingredients of optimal problem-solving. I’m grateful to have been a versatile leader and contributor in:• an ailing phone company’s turnaround into a profitable next-generation technology provider;• an electric utility’s initial directional shift to embrace a renewable energy future;• facilitating resolution to many corporate and individual legal matters as an advisor and advocate; • a literacy service provider’s re-emergence as one of Hawaii Business Magazine’s six best small nonprofits in 2011.Disruptive change has arrived in every corner of business and life, and that change is not stopping. I look forward to working with businesses to recognize the opportunity in adapting ahead of change and with emerging leaders ready to lead in new, collaborative ways.
