Approach

Strategy Beyond Silos

 

My strategic work is driven by a perpetual curiosity to discover truths around people and markets and a focus on human empathy in service of telling compelling stories and solving problems for users.

I believe inclusive collaboration and an openness to process innovation can greatly enhance teamsʼ ability to define and creatively address challenges.

Each engagement can be an opportunity to design a bespoke gameplan that taps into diverse experts across disciplines and takes advantage of the most appropriate data sources, ideation formats, and development methodologies.

I seek to create a sense of mission around projects and foster collaborative relationships with internal teams, clients, and other stakeholders to drive the smart thinking, groundbreaking ideas, stakeholder alignment, and standout executions that unlock growth for people and organizations.
