Navigate Complex Change with Clarity and Confidence.
I partner with enterprise leaders navigating mergers, digital transformation, and major restructuring, focusing on the human side of change.
Transformation requires more than frameworks
Organizations navigating major change need more than consultants with PowerPoints. They need a strategic partner who understands that every transformation is a human system, not just a project plan. Someone who's led enterprise-scale change and knows how to create clarity when certainty doesn't exist.
Steady partnership in uncertain times
I work with CIOs, VPs of Transformation, CHROs, and senior leaders at organizations with $1B-$5B in revenue who are leading complex transformations. You might be acquiring a new business that requires blending people and culture. Or maybe you are tasked with rolling out an AI strategy and need help gaining buy-in and alignment around the approach. Whatever the challenge, if the people side of change feels overwhelming or unclear, I can help.
How I Help.
I offer three core services designed to help you navigate the human side of complex change, whether you need strategic partnership for enterprise transformation, expert facilitation to align your team, or individual coaching for leadership challenges.
-
When you're navigating a merger, digital transformation, or major restructuring, success depends on more than project plans and technology. I partner with leadership teams to design and execute change strategies that address the human dynamics of transformation, from stakeholder alignment and readiness assessment to communication planning and adoption measurement. The result: leadership teams that are aligned, employees who are engaged rather than resistant, and transformations that actually stick.
-
Sometimes teams need structured space to think, align, and move forward together. I design and facilitate leadership offsites, strategic planning sessions, and team alignment experiences that go beyond PowerPoint presentations. Using experiential, brain science-based methods, I help teams break through stuck patterns, make difficult decisions, and leave with clear action plans they're committed to executing.
-
Leading through significant change is demanding work. I provide 1:1 coaching for senior leaders who are navigating complex transformations, new leadership roles, or organizational uncertainty. Through our work together, you'll gain clarity on your leadership approach, build confidence in managing ambiguity, and develop the skills to guide your team through change with calm authority.

Brain science-based approach: Methodologies grounded in how people actually process and adopt change, not theoretical frameworks
Experiential, not presentational: I create experiences that shift behavior, not PowerPoint decks that get filed away
