I help purpose-driven organizations and leaders cut through clutter, noise, and uncertainty to find greater clarity, transformation, and growth. I work with them to focus on strategy, organizational transformation, client facilitation, go-to-market planning, and leadership coaching and development. It is nerve racking to grow a company, cause, or career. I'm here as your co-pilot through turbulence, on a consulting, coaching, or fractional executive leadership basis. You’ll get my experience as a marketing / product leader, startup executive, global manager, business journalist, and author, with: • The Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute • Co-Active Training International • Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management • UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business • 3 global, public tech companies • 8 Inc.-5000 companies • Major health care organizations and medical groups • Dozens of clients across universities, health innovation, and multicultural nonprofits Here's where I can dig in with you: • Facilitating growth planning and strategy sessions • Providing leadership coaching to executives thrust into C-suite positions but lacking formal management education or experience • Working with physicians and clinicians moved into their first leadership role • Coaching individual contributors and technical team members—sales people, engineers, account managers, and high potentials who are crossing the chasm into leadership • Identifying outdated processes and systems impeding growth stage companies and replacing them with more scalable solutions • Developing go-to-market strategy, positioning, messaging, story, and brand • Validating new product or service offerings before a major investment gets made • Helping define the customer buying journey and customer experience • Managing major career strategy shifts and transitions • Managing organizational relationships with superiors, peers, and staffs • Mastering one’s relationship with authority—their own and others’ • Preparing marketing managers for marketing executive roles • Strategizing for major presentations • Coaching international employees and first-generation professionals on American business culture If you’re ready for that next step up, contact me for a free strategy session.

Let’s catch lightning in a bottle.
