I’m a strategic operator and people champion with 18+ years of experience leading high-impact programs, cross-functional initiatives, and organizational change at iconic brands like Nike, Jordan, and Converse. I specialize in translating big-picture vision into scalable actions and programs that align people, process, and strategy—while fostering culture and creativity along the way. Throughout my career, I’ve been a trusted thought partner to senior executives and creative leaders, known for building clarity in complexity, driving operational excellence, and enabling teams to deliver their best work. Whether it’s standing up a new function, navigating transformation, or streamlining design teams globally, I bring a people-centered, systems-thinking approach that balances empathy with execution. I’ve led global HR programs, Design operations, built talent innovation programs, created enterprise-wide talent and planning frameworks, and supported organizations through periods of intense growth and ambiguity. My superpower is helping leaders and teams move from chaos to clarity - aligning strategy with action, and vision with velocity. Now, I’m looking to bring that same energy to a mission-driven organization where I can continue to shape culture, accelerate impact, and build the connective tissue that helps companies - and people - thrive.
