With over twenty years of experience in professional services across HR, operational leadership, and software development, I have a broad and deep understanding of the industry. My unusual background includes education, coaching, people leadership, and business management, and my focus at this point in my career is on culture, organizational design, adult development, and career acceleration. Great leadership brings together an inspiring vision of the future and the passionate stewardship of the organization that is going to make that vision a reality. The combination of drive toward a better future and care for the community that makes up the organization is at the heart of my philosophy of work.In my years as CPO, I've played a key role in learning strategy, recruiting strategy, CEO succession, acquisition integration, the establishment of a DEI office, crisis communications, executive assessment, retention strategy, international expansion, mentorship, coaching to executive levels, and employee engagement improvement.
