I hired and onboarded 500+ instructors, designed 40+ trainings and a new-employee syllabus, and led a 950-person Teams migration. My teams reached an employee NPS of 92. I coach managers and new leaders on developing their people: building a professional development program from scratch, onboarding that sticks, giving structured feedback, and running teams of part-time or contract staff. I also bring seven years of nonprofit board leadership, serving as board member, treasurer and president of Revive Center for Housing and Healing.

Throughout my 11 years at Apple, I’ve gained firsthand experience in leadership development by managing cross-functional teams, mentoring emerging talent, and driving collaboration across various departments. I've coached junior team members, helping them grow into effective leaders by building confidence, strategic thinking, and strong communication skills. My approach emphasizes real-world leadership skills—like handling complex projects, aligning teams around a common vision, and creating a culture of accountability. I know that great leadership is about more than just guiding projects; it's about inspiring others to reach their full potential. My experiences have taught me how to help individuals cultivate their unique leadership style, improve their influence, and lead with both confidence and empathy.

I bring 32 years of leadership experience at a leading global financial institution, operating at the Managing Director-equivalent level. My career spans executive leadership, enterprise transformation, organizational change, strategic execution, and global team leadership across three major business divisions. I've overseen strategic portfolios exceeding $200 million, led organizations of up to 85 professionals, and partnered with senior executives to navigate complex business challenges and deliver measurable results. For more than 20 years, I've coached, mentored, and developed professionals at various stages of their careers, helping them strengthen their leadership skills, navigate workplace challenges, build confidence, and prepare for new opportunities. Many of the individuals I've coached have advanced in their careers, and watching people grow, gain confidence, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. I'm also the Founder and Principal of Brownstone Bespoke Group LLC, where I've developed a practical leadership development framework focused on building high-performing teams through trust, clear expectations, empowerment, professional growth, accountability, and measurable results. My signature program, *Build the Team People Want to Be On*, translates decades of real-world leadership experience into actionable strategies managers can apply immediately. As a PMP-certified executive and 2023 Executive Woman Media Power 100 honoree, I bring both strategic perspective and hands-on leadership experience. I believe great leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning, growing, building trust, and bringing out the best in others. My coaching style is approachable, practical, honest, and supportive. Whether you're stepping into your first leadership role, navigating a difficult workplace situation, or preparing for the next level in your career, my goal is to help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.

- Seven years working in finance. - Twelve years restructuring & rebuilding a manufacturing business through Brexit, COVID and a supply chain shock, sold in a 2024 management buyout. - Co-founder of Serac, a wealth platform for ultra-high-net worth clients. - Advisor & Operating partner for owner-managed & PE backed businesses. Growing a business and growing as its leader are the same job, most people just don't treat them that way. My obsession is working with leaders who take both seriously: humble about what they don't know yet, genuinely capable in their own craft, and driven about closing the gap between what they can do and what they've currently got the resources to do.

With over 25 years of experience in senior HR leadership roles at companies including Google, Grammarly and MTV Networks, I've spent much of my career partnering with and coaching leaders at all levels, from first-time managers to senior executives.

My coaching provides a supportive, practical space to work through those challenges, build greater self-awareness and develop the skills and confidence to lead effectively. Every engagement is tailored to the individual's goals, strengths and circumstances. Alongside my corporate experience, I hold a Master's in Human Resource Management, completed the Wharton CHRO Program and am a certified Executive Coach.
