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.

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.
