About

about

I have had the privilege of being a CEO three times. Twice as a public company CEO and once as interim CEO within a private equity context. I have led global companies with over $5 billion in revenues with operations in over 60 countries and 20,000+ talented employees. 

​

I’ve dealt with a wide range of business opportunities and challenges. From M&A through capital raising (debt and equity) through complex business model transformations and messy restructuring and turnaround situations. I also sit on public company, private equity-backed, and private boards in the US, France, Australia and Canada. 

 

These all contribute to a wealth of experience that I can bring to my clients in two areas:​

MY APPROACH TO

​The Evolving Leader

Effective leaders need a range of skills, some developed and others still evolving

Evolving Leadership in

a Changing World

Effective CEOs must evolve to keep up with rapid changes, from macro shifts to technologies like generative AI

Embracing Unique

Journeys

Through my own successes and mistakes, I've developed strong values and a deep passion for supporting others on their journey of self-discovery

Coaching as

Continuous Growth

We’re all works in progress.  Coaching is about continuous change, learning, and building capacity—it's not about having all the answers

Leaders' Impact

on Society

As leaders, we have a disproportionate impact on society. I believe we have both the opportunity and the obligation to evolve for better outcomes
