About

I strive to be the kind of leader for my team who extends her hands and pulls them up. Over 15 years of executive leadership, purposely leading teams and shaping org cultures. Born in Transilvania and raised in a multicultural, healthy society with solid values, there is very little that scares me. Throughout my career, I've focused on creating new ways and platforms to build healthy relationships between and inside teams. All chasing the same goal: adding value to the product & service while championing humanity in our lives. With a proven track record in building successful businesses from the ground up and leading high-performing teams, I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking, value-driven leadership, and a humanistic approach to every project. When your team is motivated, healthy, and equipped with the tools they need to succeed, you win. My entrepreneurial journey began when I built a business from scratch, growing it on cash flow before orchestrating a successful exit through acquisition. I am currently working with leaders and teams, helping them to achieve high performance while remaining faithful to their core values. On LinkedIn, I write about the lessons I learned as a woman and mom entrepreneur, hoping to help others find their own way.
