After years of driving large scale culture change initiatives in Fortune 500 telecom and manufacturing companies and 10 years of running a small business leading the team that drove over $45M in revenue and was recognized as an Inc 500 company two years in a row, I started my own business.

Drawing upon both the highs and lows of my career, I work with business leaders to create thriving teams and processes.

I believe that people are your most valuable asset.

Lives are better and productivity is increased when people are in the right roles and enjoy the work they do, the people they work with and the culture they share.

 

I have over 25 years of experience in team development and operation management and earned a MA in Organization Development & Adult Leadership Studies from DePaul University. I am a Kolbe™ Certified Consultant and studies include certificates in Essentials of Human Resources (DePaul University), A+ Leader program (LeadingEdge Teams) and Appreciative Inquiry (Corporation for Positive Change).

I spent the first 15 years of my career working in Fortune 100 companies in telecom and manufacturing leading large-scale organization change and leadership development initiatives. A decade ago, I discovered the dynamic and exciting world of mission driven entrepreneurial small businesses. Lisa Sasevich hired me to help her as her new business prospered.  I was her first employee, her chief of operations "right-hand" person, and when I left I was Vice President and the leader making the team and business run.

Whether you are a small business owner or a leader in a large business, people are at the heart of your business success.

I love walks in nature, reading, music and a lively conversation with friends. I live in Richmond, VA with my husband of 12 years. We love exploring the local live music scene and travel adventures around the world.
