Development Leader with Business Credibility
With over 20 years of experience leading product, strategy, and customer engagement initiatives, I’ve lived the challenges that today’s employees and managers face. That experience gives me a unique advantage: I understand how to build talent development solutions that don’t just check boxes—they solve real problems and drive meaningful behavior change.
I’ve led cross-functional teams, launched digital solutions, and navigated organizational change. Now, I bring that same strategic mindset into the people space—designing leadership development, talent planning, and engagement strategies that align directly with business goals. I think in outcomes. I speak the language of the business. And I understand that time and attention are limited, so learning must be relevant, actionable, and built for the real world.
My goal is to create learning and talent solutions that stick—because they’re grounded in empathy, backed by data, and designed by someone who’s been there.
Learning and development isn’t only my career – it’s my highest core value and how I spend my free time, my energy, and my creative focus.
I’m not just a learning and development professional—I’m a practitioner. I live and breathe growth, not only by designing programs, but by continuously learning myself. Whether it's through podcasting, volunteering, or video production, I turn insight into action—for myself and for others.
