Your Next Move:
Partnering with Executives Navigating High-Stakes Change
Turn ambiguity into a clear plan, a sharper brand, and activate new career possibilities.
Senior leadership transitions are too important to wing. I help executives turn uncertainty into a clear plan—and execute it. Expect clear playbooks, tight materials, and steady momentum. I also partner with best-in-class executive search organizations to extend your reach.
What we do together (no fluff, all traction):
- Clarity & criteria: define the next chapter, decision scorecard, and guardrails
- Brand & materials: crisp UVP, LinkedIn/resume, wins library, board narrative—built to recruiter/search standards
- Market activation: targeted outreach, warm intros, and a weekly rhythm you can sustain; I collaborate with best-in-class executive search organizations to widen access and align materials to how they evaluate candidates
- Accountability & iteration: pipeline tracking, interview debriefs, message testing, and fast refinements
- Close well: support in setting up forward-facing goals, scaling up skillsets, and prep for annual reviews
My mission is simple: Help senior executives land well and lead the next chapter on their terms.
What Led Me Here
I stepped into this work because I know firsthand what it feels like to be in transition—both personally and professionally. When I left my role as a senior executive, I was struck by how mechanical and impersonal the experience felt, especially given how closely my identity was tied to my work. I realized it didn’t have to be that way.
What if leaders had someone who could both champion and challenge them through these pivotal moments? Someone who combined real-world executive experience with genuine support and rigor? That’s the work I set out to do—and it has proven to be the most meaningful and impactful chapter of my career.
I’ve sat in the boardroom and led global brands, so I bring operator realism and positioning discipline. I’m energetic and hands-on, diplomatic without being vague, and meticulous about quality. Along the way, I’ve earned ICF and MetaPerformance accreditation and became a Hogan-certified practitioner—ensuring that my support is both deeply human and highly effective.
What Sets Me Apart
I’m a transition coach who gets the real work behind reinvention.
I support executives through high-stakes career moments—helping you get clear on what you want, define your next chapter, and build tactical plans to bring it to life.
I’ve sat in the boardroom—and I bring that experience to every conversation.
With decades of senior leadership across global brands, I understand what it means to lead, to be accountable, and to operate at the highest level. When needed, I shift seamlessly into consulting mode to offer perspective rooted in lived experience.
Your personal brand is your executive currency—and I help you shape it powerfully.
As a former global brand leader, I use proven positioning frameworks to help you articulate your unique value proposition, sharpen your presence, and show up credibly—on paper, online, and in the room.
How I Know It’s Working
- I get the calls: from thrilled clients who’ve just landed the role they were dreaming of.
- I get the emails: from people who say a single conversation shifted their perspective or changed their life.
- And I get the referrals: from clients who trust me enough to send their closest friends, colleagues, and even family members my way.
The ROI isn’t just the job; it’s the clarity, confidence, and agency you leave with.
