Experienced at leading large and small organizations for one of the most recognizable brands in the technology industry.

In this digital era all companies should look at all the pillars to a successful business transformation (people, process & technology)

The best leaders are intentional around creating inclusive environments where everyone feels seen, valued and heard.

I am certified in Prosci, a methodology that helps you lead change at scale. My belief as a leader is you should always strive to be a change agent and hand over a team that is better than when you inherited it.
