I design organizational systems, executive partnerships, and workplace experiences that help technology companies navigate growth, change, and innovation.

Previously at Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Starbucks Coffee Company —partnering with executive leaders to strengthen organizations through strategic programs and workplace systems.

How to Work With Me

I partner with companies as a strategic advisor, fractional leader, or full-time operator — depending on their needs and stage of growth.

Drawn to Innovation

Pay attention to where the future is going.

My father was a math and electronics teacher with an uncanny gift — he could see where technology was headed before anyone else did. Before computers became part of everyday life, he was already convinced they'd reshape it, and he taught me to meet that kind of change with curiosity instead of fear.

As a kid, he introduced me to technology by teaching me BASIC. We wrote simple programs that made our names blink across the screen in bright green letters. I didn't just want to learn it—I wanted my friends in on it too. So I started the Girls Computer Club, inviting them over after school to learn alongside me. We'd spend afternoons writing code, cheering every time our programs finally worked.

That experience stayed with me: pay attention to where the future is going, then find your way to help build it. Looking back, I was already doing that — bringing people together to learn, explore, and discover something new, long before "learning in public" had a name.

That belief became the compass for my career—and the question I kept asking myself: Where do I fit?

Finding My Part in Building It

I never chased job titles or industries. I chased proximity to what was changing the way people lived and worked—Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks' digital transformation, Meta, and now AI. I was drawn to both the technology and the people building it.

Along the way, I discovered my role wasn't writing the code. It was helping the people behind it do their best work.

That meant designing workplace systems, strengthening executive partnerships, connecting teams, and creating environments where innovation could thrive.

Today, that's still the work I love most: helping organizations navigate growth and change by building the systems, partnerships, and workplace experiences that turn bold ideas into something people can actually execute.

How I Create Impact

Great organizations don't happen by accident. They're intentionally designed.

No matter the company or challenge, my approach has remained remarkably consistent.

Understand the Business

Before proposing solutions, I immerse myself in the organization—its people, culture, goals, and challenges. I listen first to understand what's getting in the way and where the greatest opportunities exist.

Design Solutions That Scale

Once I understand the problem, I design practical systems that create value—whether that's executive engagement, workplace programs, communication strategies, onboarding, or operational frameworks.

Stay Curious

Technology changes. Businesses evolve. People do too. I stay close to emerging technology, employee feedback, and changing business priorities so the solutions I build continue to evolve with the organization.

Where I Create Impact

Every project starts differently. My approach doesn't.

Helping Innovation Teams Scale

Fast-growing teams need more than headcount. I build the systems, rhythms, and experiences that help people stay connected and effective as organizations grow.
