I began my career in management consulting and then jumped into the exciting world of startups. I spent my entire career in various executive-facing roles, where I had the privilege of working with some of the most exciting companies and capable leaders around the world. While honing my business skills and uncovering what it takes to build high-performing companies, I learned the importance of self-awareness, continuous learning, influence, and grit in one's ability to thrive in his or her chosen career path. My life's purpose is to empower people to lead fulfilling lives -- today, I do this by sharing my business savvy and providing clarity to people who are hungry for more.
