I attribute my success to adaptability, relationship-building, and trusting my intuition. After more than two decades in corporate leadership roles, I made the decision to launch my own firm following a CEO transition that inspired me to create something independent and impactful. With 25 years of experience in executive leadership—including serving as Chief Information Officer for a major health system—I now partner with mid-sized companies to strengthen operations and prepare for long-term success through consulting and advisory services. Throughout my career, I’ve found that my ability to connect with people, understand organizational dynamics, and deliver measurable results has been instrumental to my growth. I’ve learned that balancing structure with flexibility is essential—it allows me to design systems that not only look good on paper but also thrive in real-world environments.

The best career advice I’ve ever received is to trust my intuition—it’s often the quiet truth guiding you before logic catches up. Some of my most influential mentors taught me the importance of emotional intelligence and self-awareness in leadership, and that wisdom has shaped how I approach every decision. I carry that perspective with me in all areas of my work, from navigating major career transitions to building meaningful, trust-based relationships with clients.

I encourage young women entering this industry to trust their instincts, take calculated risks, and never underestimate the power of networking. Define success on your own terms—don’t let others set the standard for your potential. Embrace change as an opportunity for growth, even during times of transition. Building strong relationships and maintaining confidence through uncertainty are essential to long-term advancement and personal fulfillment.

The biggest challenge—and opportunity—I see in my field is helping organizations navigate modernization and leadership transitions effectively. Many companies struggle to adapt quickly enough to the rapid pace of technological and cultural change. My focus is on bridging that gap by integrating human behavior, systems thinking, and strategic execution. By aligning people, processes, and purpose, I aim to help organizations achieve meaningful, lasting transformation.

Integrity, authenticity, and balance are the values that guide me both professionally and personally. I believe in fostering meaningful connections, collaboration, and transparency—qualities that build trust and drive long-term success. Equally important to me is maintaining harmony between my work and personal life. I’ve been intentional about designing a career that aligns with my life priorities, allowing me to stay fulfilled, grounded, and connected to what truly matters.
