About Me

I specialize in guiding companies through rapid growth, change, and uncertainty.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with startups, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies like Google, VMware, Pivotal, Adobe, and Girls Who Code.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with leadership teams to design actionable strategies, build high-performing teams, and drive long-term transformation. I’ve experienced firsthand the cultural and operational challenges growing companies face – but I’ve also helped them find opportunity in those situations and come out stronger on the other side.

As a consultant, I leverage an agile approach, combining strategic advising, enablement, and hands-on support to drive results that last beyond the end of an engagement.

I’m an alumna of the University of California, Berkeley and the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

How I Work

What can you expect when you work with me?

I toggle seamlessly between strategy, execution and evaluation.

I’m direct, action-oriented and transparent about what’s working and what’s not.

I provide value quickly and don’t need hand-holding. We can check-in as little or as much as you want.

I communicate well and thrive on candid feedback.

I’ve worked with every type of stakeholder and managed through many crises - I'm not easily surprised.

Common Challenges

Here are some common challenges that I work through with clients:

Navigating Complexity

When faced with complex and ambiguous environments, it can be difficult to find a clear path forward. I will guide you through these challenging situations, leveraging strategic thinking and problem-solving skills to unravel complexities and identify data-driven solutions.

Driving Tangible Results

Achieving tangible results is essential for success. I will closely collaborate with you to set measurable goals, establish evaluation frameworks, and implement feedback mechanisms. This approach allows us to track progress, make necessary iterations, and ultimately achieve the desired outcomes.

Talent Strategy & DEI

Retaining and developing talent requires ongoing efforts and support. I specialize in helping organizations hire, retain, and grow diverse talent, resulting in stronger management teams, standardized talent management practices that are integrated into daily operations, and a more productive and engaged employee base.

Data-Driven Decision-Making

I specialize in drawing insights and developing recommendations from qualitative and quantitative people data. Through surveys, focus groups, and other assessment methods, we can uncover valuable insights that drive talent strategy, inform cultural changes, and identify areas for employee engagement improvement.

Stakeholder Management

Managing diverse stakeholder groups with different goals can lead to conflicts and hurdles in decision-making. I excel in understanding stakeholder dynamics, bridging gaps, and finding common ground. Through effective communication, negotiation, and stakeholder alignment strategies, I foster collaboration and drive consensus.

Empowering Managers and Leaders

Through my workshops, managers and leaders will gain new skills and tools to excel in their roles. Additionally, I'll create a space where they can share experiences, learn from each other, and feel more confident in their responsibilities. This empowerment leads to enhanced productivity, improved decision-making, and accelerated growth.
