I'm not for everyone...

Make No Mistake

And That’s the Point.

You won’t find cookie-cutter consulting here.


I’ve built and sold companies, survived a stroke, and raised a daughter while rewriting what leadership looks like in rooms I was never supposed to be in.


I’ve spoken for Google. I’ve helped generate over $165M in growth for my clients.. I’ve coached leaders who now shape industries.
I bring a lived lens—and I speak clarity in rooms where it’s long overdue.

"When you know who you are, it's easy to stay on track."
