ABOUT ME
Business Strategist, Status Quo Disruptor, Idea Transformer
My WHY
I love people. It’s just who I am. I am a people person and I love seeing people thrive and their companies growing and succeeding.
It’s in my blood. I come from 4 generations of spirited entrepreneurs and grew up in the Family business which was real estate, law and insurance. My Mom learned the ropes from my Grandfather and was the heartbeat of the business, holding it all down with such grace and poise. And, although the road was a rocky one, it was one that my Family carved out for themselves. Serving and supporting people was at the core of the business. I remember sitting under my Mom’s desk as child, listening to her client conversations and being in total awe at the way she listened and supported them. She made each one feel like they were her one and only customer. I aspired to give the same support, care and attentiveness to my customers. I aspired to run my own business.
My Experience
I have been blessed to work for some of the best companies in the world including the largest technology company in the world, Dell Technologies. I’ve had the privilege of supporting a variety of customers from the largest retailers in the world, to fortune 500 commercial companies, to small rapidly growing small businesses, to passionate entrepreneurs.
My results have led me be described as The Closer. The Idea Machine. The Triage Surgeon. The Success Quarterback.
The person to bring in when…
You need fresh ideas to fuel growth
You need a business strategy
You need to close that big client
You need to triage the problem
You need to catalyze a turn-around
“Be radical in business and life. Be RAAD!”
Resilient, Adaptable, Authentic & Diligent
“It’s in the act of resilience that we find the breakthroughs, the “AH-HA” moments, the learnings that all lead to accelerate massive growth in us. Adapt, like water. The moment the ground shifts on you, dig deep, be fluid and flexible then adapt and adjust to new conditions. There is only one you in this world, your unique IP (Intellectual Property), the gifts only you can bring to this world. Authenticity is true power, harness this to accelerate your business. Show up every day and be seen. To be diligent takes mindful effort, energy and patience. Diligence produces results.”
