Helping Leaders Build Organizations That Work.

I work with senior leaders and the organizations they run: coaching executives one-on-one, building stronger teams, redesigning structures that have outgrown themselves, and stepping in as a fractional or interim COO when a company needs operating leadership fast.

Over 20 years in senior leadership roles, including at Fortune 50 technology companies, plus hands-on operating experience with high-growth startups, taught me what good organizational design looks like at every stage of growth.

Now I help other leaders build it.

For organizations that need experienced operating leadership without a full-time hire.

For leaders ready to assess, redesign, and optimize their organization to get better results.

For teams that need to build alignment and the capability to lead through complex change.

For senior leaders navigating high-stakes decisions and transitions who want an experienced, objective sounding board.

About Me

Leaders and founders bring me in when they need to close the gap between strategy and execution: redesigning an organization, building a leadership team that can hold up under pressure, or getting the operational systems and resources in place for a high-stakes period. I've spent over 20 years in senior leadership roles, at large global companies including Microsoft and Amazon, and in high-growth startups, before founding my own practice. Along the way, I've led teams of 200+, redesigned organizations moving through hypergrowth and change, and coached executives across biotech, tech, and non-profits.
