About

One of my desired career goals was to move into leadership and I have recently taken that step (2021) at VMware leading a team of 6 Sr. Talent Discovery Partners on the CXS and BOLT teams. I am a life longer learner trying to achieve the Visionary/Democratic/Coaching/Servant style of leadership; currently leading with empathy, collaboration, communication and developing others in mind. Helping my team become the SME/Benchmark for all things Talent Discovery at VMware!
