Thank you for your interest!

I bring intellect and insight, plus an action orientation to help leaders seize opportunities to bring positive change. I have a deep bench of like-minded team players, depending upon your needs, A curious, independent, collaborative, thinker and doer, over twenty years leading organizations through fascinating periods of change, I’ve learned hard lessons, probably been in your shoes, done an exceptional amount of research, and ended up fairly certain that the primary ingredient needed for change is not alignment, but commitment. There are no shortcuts.

I began my career as a PhD ethicist and philosophy professor, (teaching Ethics and Public Policy, Business Ethics, and lots more) and became a culture builder, organizational change leader, and executive coach, with multiple leadership roles in higher education and real estate related organizations along the way. If you wonder about that journey, condider that philosophical insight often reveals structures behind what we experience, and values assessments are key to human motivation and organizational behavior.

My invitation to you is this — be open to work differently and better, with achievement of more amitious goals as the upside. Whether you are brand new to a CEO role, a founder or investor seeking to position an organization to attract capital, or a board chair recognizing that governance needs attention, there is power in bringing in someone from the outside to support change. Small steps based on proven approaches lead to transformation. Together we can unlock deeper understanding of your opportunities and next steps.

If change is what you need, reach out.
