About Us
I invest in people and ideas that contribute to a better world.
I am deeply curious about the intersection of leadership, social impact, and personal meaning. Throughout my work as a successful entrepreneur, executive and teacher, I’ve led with connection, a balance of head and heart, and have been driven by the compassion required to make a better world. I help others working towards a better world bring their ideas and dreams to life. It’s what I’ve done my entire career, and it is the focus of my work.
If you would like to work with me - to write the next chapter for you as a leader, or for your organization - please get in touch. I can’t wait to meet you and I am ready to help.
