► High Impact Communication and Persuasion ► Incredible Administrative Acumen ► Organizational Change Agent Creating growth in complex, matrixed organizations while building an organizational reputation with national recognition, talent attraction, high performing teams, and a modern culture is my passion. I’ve led operating budgets up to $40M and diverse teams of 300 employees and driven executive leadership across the highest levels of highly politicized factions. My hallmark is empathetic leadership that fosters collaboration, cooperation, and innovation in historically difficult environments. Whether it’s overhauling programs impacting current customers and stakeholders or imagining brand new opportunities to expand an organization’s impact, I’m driven to tackle big picture vision. My reputation for impeccable results, often where others have struggled, has given me the opportunity to tackle organizational problems as diverse as employee retention and productivity to revenue and customer reach and how to drive diversity in a global field.
