For over 25 years I've been “under the hood”… of new, newly-led, or newly-merged businesses, all of which were well-positioned to create (and dependent on) effective talent, branding and workplace cultures to drive sustainable growth and profits. A track record of successfully guiding organizations through mergers, organizational restructurings, re-branding efforts and IPOs with an expertise in designing strategies to create platforms for growth and profitability that are powered by engagement in the organization’s talent, brand and values. With experience as a CHRO, Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Branding Officer, Managing Director and Consultant at leading U.S. and global corporations, operationalizing change, creating growth platforms and connecting the customer – both external and internal – has been the hallmark of my work.Work with various business sectors: entertainment, hospitality, beauty and fashion, and financial.
