Why do I coach?
I've been in your shoes and know what it’s like to navigate challenges without a clear roadmap. I would have really benefitted from having a strong coach to guide me through it. Being able to offer that kind of support to someone else - helping them find clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose - is exactly why I do this work.
Work Experience
Head of Programming - Network USA
United Nations Global Compact
2020 - Present
The United Nations Global Compact is a special initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General and the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative with over 25,000 corporate participants and other stakeholders in over 160 countries. In 2020, I became part of the founding team of the U.S. office of the UN Global Compact: • I developed the organization’s programmatic portfolio from the ground up, supporting over 1,000 American companies (including a majority of Fortune 500 firms) in strengthening their sustainability strategies and advancing the global sustainability agenda. Today, our offerings encompass accelerator programs, peer learning groups, thought leadership, webinars, and in-person events. • Built and hired the team responsible for executing the programmatic portfolio. I continue to lead this team (the largest in the organization), supporting both the execution of existing offerings and the development of new initiatives. • Spearhead the organization’s government relations strategy, engaging with U.S. public sector entities such as the U.S. Mission to the UN, the Department of State, and the Department of Labor. Since joining, I have led efforts to establish and strengthen public-private partnerships, significantly enhancing our government engagement.
