I led numerous operations teams for various corporations on Wall Street for Mergers and Acquisitions for over 17 years. After establishing a consistent track record of successes, I started my own consulting business and left my corporate job. Since then, I’ve worked with some of the world’s strongest brands, including Wells Fargo, AIG, Bird, and the Pokemon company, with whom I am still working.
I work with strong brands with a well-funded great idea, who don’t quite know how to execute.
A little over a year ago, I felt called to begin sharing my experience, approach, and learnings to a wider audience; this launched my Speaking and Business Mentoring. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity over the past year to speak to numerous audiences in North America, Australia, and Europe, as well as partner with some businesses for mentoring both directly, and through a VC. My recent professional talks have addressed working from home, specifically: building the skills, routines, and toolsets into your day to create and sustain productivity in whatever you’re doing.
