Strategic Advisory for Courageous Leaders
I am an advisor to founders and teams who
are building vibrant, life affirming businesses
that support a more equitable world.
You can find me where capital, leadership ethos, strategy and culture intersect to not only create new products and stakeholder value, but new paradigms based on:
-
economic empowerment.
-
systems based on mutual care.
-
equanimity with the natural world.
Discovering Leverage
and Identity Coherence
I help surface where leaks and meaningful leverage lie:
-
Where values are stated but not lived.
-
Where definitions of value and capital structure are not aligned
-
Where energy is diffuse not only in strategy and execution, but in relationships and presence.
My contribution is equal parts rigorous inquiry, catalytic activation,
and devotion to uncovering your untarnished vision.
I bring intellectual curiosity, compassion, a spirit of possibility, and energetic discernment to my work; my clients describe my impact as “catalytic," "clarifying,” and "expansive."
​
My approach aligns best with leaders who value emotional intelligence, self awareness, and integrity and are commitment to personal development.
When is it time to work together?
It’s time to work together when your organization’s foundation is solid, and is facing a moment of transition or increasing complexity that requires deeper integrity or expanded capacity.

My engagements are always non-operational, embedded with leadership, and are custom to align my contribution with your success.
