About

I’m a dynamic leader with 30 years in financial services, currently heading Equitable’s Remote Advice team. My journey began at Smith Barney, Prudential Securities, and GKN Securities, before joining Equitable in 2000. I’ve driven transformation across the company as a business analyst, Six Sigma Black Belt, Strategic Initiatives trailblazer, HR Business Partner, and Lead Director, Head of Remote Advice in Wealth Management. Today, I empower 70 financial professionals to boost advisor productivity and revenue, by managing client relationships and championing a distribution model that attracts a wide range of talent. I hold a BBA from James Madison and an MBA from Baruch, plus Series 7, 63, and 24 licenses. I’m a certified Project Management Professional, Change Management Trainer, Adaptive Leadership Facilitator, and proud member of the Women’s Bond Club. I lead with integrity—making decisions that build trust across our teams. I care deeply about the well-being and success of our people, creating an environment where everyone can express their full potential. Striving for excellence in every process and outcome, I’m driven by a mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
