With over 15 years of experience, I have a proven track record of leading teams to solve complex, end-to-end challenges across omnichannel ecosystems. I specialize in building high-performing, human-centered teams that deliver strategic business impact and grow in capability, confidence, and vision.

Rooted in human-centered design, my leadership approach blends deep insight, experimentation, and strategic execution to address real-world complexity and drive measurable outcomes at scale.

Through over a decade of teaching, mentoring, and organizational leadership, I focus on developing leaders who can navigate ambiguity, foster cross-functional collaboration, and drive enterprise transformation.

My passion lies in shaping environments where bold thinking, shared ownership, and purposeful leadership thrive, scaling impact across products and organizations.

  • I shape bold, unifying visions that inspire alignment from the C-suite to cross-functional teams. As a strategic partner to executive leadership, I translate ambition into actionable outcomes, bridging the gap between intent and execution. Known for turning complexity into clarity, I empower other leaders to act decisively, drive sustainable growth, and build the conditions for long-term organizational success.

  • I specialize in translating complexity into clear, compelling narratives that drive alignment and inspire action at the executive level. Whether articulating visionary roadmaps, surfacing data-driven insights, or presenting strategic business cases, I craft communication that builds trust, fosters consensus, and equips leaders to make confident, informed decisions—always anchored in organizational priorities and long-term goals.

  • I thrive at the intersection of cross-functional teams, uniting product, design, engineering, and business stakeholders around shared goals to deliver high-impact outcomes. Through trust-building and intentional collaboration, I enable seamless coordination across complex, matrixed environments.

    My strength lies in aligning diverse perspectives and navigating competing priorities—ensuring teams stay focused on delivering value, driving innovation, and achieving strategic objectives.

  • I lead with steadiness and clarity through periods of transformation, fostering resilience across teams and organizations. By creating alignment around shared goals and implementing adaptive strategies, I help teams stay focused, motivated, and effective amid change.

    My approach emphasizes proactive communication, transparent decision-making, and equipping leaders with the tools to navigate ambiguity—enabling organizations to embrace uncertainty, seize new opportunities, and emerge stronger.

  • I champion a culture of experimentation—combining rapid prototyping, user testing, and data analytics to inform and validate decisions. By fostering curiosity and continuous learning, I empower teams to test ideas quickly, iterate with confidence, and uncover breakthrough solutions.

    My approach strikes the balance between creativity and rigor, ensuring insights lead to impactful, scalable outcomes.

  • I optimize design teams' effectiveness by implementing scalable processes, robust toolsets, and frameworks that streamline workflows and enhance collaboration. By integrating operations into the design ecosystem, I ensure teams can focus on delivering impactful solutions efficiently. My approach to design operations creates clarity, reduces friction, and ensures consistent delivery of high-quality work aligned with organizational goals.
