San Francisco Bay Area
I am an accomplished general manager, HR, business and leadership development professional for companies ranging in size from startup to Fortune 500. I get the most reward by making others successful. Customers, employees, clients, associates, supervisors, neighbors, acquaintances… you name it. I’m the coach on the sidelines who is calm in the face of adversity yet my enthusiasm and energy is contagious. As a wearer of many hats in my career, I quickly and easily adapt to current surroundings and am very comfortable with ambiguity. I pursue perspectives and opposing dialogue. I solve complex problems by seeking, listening, observing and taking action. This makes me uniquely suitable to best utilize and optimize people and processes. I have strong leadership, team building and change management skills used in reinventing and transforming global organizations into agile, market-oriented, customer-centric, high-performance teams. I have strong communication and influence skills which I’ve applied in cross-functional, multi-disciplinary coordination and collaboration efforts. I get the most enjoyment by using my "been there, done that" real world experiences to help others grow through executive and leadership coaching, mentoring, recruitment and talent management consulting.
