25 years. Hundreds of leaders. One consistent through-line: the moment when technical expertise alone stops being enough. I work with CEOs, founders, and senior leaders across scientific institutions, academic organizations, and early-stage ventures at exactly that moment — when the complexity of the role outpaces the leadership toolkit that got them there. What they share isn’t an industry — it’s a profile: brilliant, accomplished, and navigating the gap between what made them exceptional and what leading at the next level demands.

• Deep expertise across academic organizations, scientific institutions, and early-stage growth ventures — with the enterprise rigor of Microsoft and PwC.
• Certified and experienced in leadership assessment deployment and interpretation, including Hogan Development Survey and EQi 2.0.
• A results-driven approach that meets leaders at the current inflection point and accelerates what comes next.
• A fierce advocate for client success — leading with empathy, trust, and an unwavering investment in lasting impact.

I bring the discipline of enterprise consulting — shaped by years at Microsoft and PwC Consulting (now IBM) — and apply it to the human side of performance: how leaders show up, make decisions, build trust, and drive results when the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t clear.

When I’m not in that work, I’m in the water — completing Catalina-to-LA relays and swimming Alcatraz to San Francisco. The resilience, focus, and strategic mindset those crossings demand are the same qualities I bring to every engagement.
