Summary

I thrive on solving complex problems, bringing teams together, and creating strategies that drive meaningful results. With a blend of creativity and analytical rigor, I approach challenges from every angle—whether it's crafting a long-term vision, managing the details of execution, or mentoring others to achieve their potential. I’ve been fortunate to work across diverse industries, leading projects that require adaptability, collaboration, and a focus on innovation. My colleagues describe me as calm under pressure, approachable, and someone who fosters a positive and productive environment. I take pride in being not only a strategic thinker but also a dependable partner who listens, learns, and finds solutions that work for all. Integrity is at the heart of everything I do. I’m driven by a strong ethical compass, a passion for understanding different perspectives, and a commitment to building trust. Whether navigating the challenges of a startup, executing on a complex initiative, or helping a leader find their path, I show up with purpose, focus, and a sense of humor to keep things in perspective. I get excited by opportunities where I can create impact through strategic leadership, project execution, and stakeholder management.
