I bring 25 years of real-world executive leadership experience to my coaching, developed while leading complex operations and large-scale organizations as a U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Officer. Throughout my career, I led teams of up to 360 personnel, managed programs and assets exceeding $2B, and advised senior leaders at the 4-star/CEO level—making high-consequence decisions in environments defined by uncertainty, pressure, and constant change. My leadership experience spans global operations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, where success depended on strategic clarity, disciplined execution, effective communication, and the ability to develop strong, resilient teams.

I’ve held multiple senior leadership roles in the healthcare space, and I didn’t get there by following a playbook. Like many emerging leaders, I had to figure it out on my own. No mentor. Just a lot of trial by fire. I learned to observe, adapt, and make the key mindset shifts needed to go from doer to leader, often in environments where the rules changed overnight. What most people don’t tell you is that what made you great in your last role isn’t always what’s going to carry you forward. The skill set shifts. So does the way you influence, communicate, and drive results. My coaching helps you navigate those leaps with clarity and confidence—whether you're managing people for the first time, growing in your current role, or eyeing your next move up. We’ll focus on building your strategic thinking, leadership presence, and ability to influence across the organization—so you’re not just doing more, but leading smarter.
