As a former tech executive and CEO, I’ve experienced firsthand how strong leadership fuels engagement, retention, and business success.

My passion for leadership development began when I saw talented teams struggle under ineffective leadership—not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the right support and leadership behaviors to thrive.

Now, I help organizations bridge the gap between leadership intentions and the actual experience of their employees.

✔ I partner with HR leaders to transform leaders into engagement multipliers—building teams that perform, innovate, and stay.
✔ I coach and train executives to develop behaviors that create high-performing, engaged teams.
✔ I use research-backed, behavior-based strategies to create real, sustainable leadership transformation.



I've walked in your shoes

Leadership isn’t about telling people what to
do. It’s about creating environments where people can do their best work.

My Approach

I take a leadership-first approach to employee engagement, equipping leaders with the skills, behaviors, and accountability structures they need to create thriving, high-performing teams. Grounded in research-backed frameworks like The Leadership Challenge®, my work focuses on practical, results-driven solutions tailored to the realities of fast-moving organizations. 

Why It Matters

When leaders prioritize engagement, the results are undeniable. Companies with highly engaged teams don’t just see cultural improvements—they experience real business impact.
