About

I lead accessibility as an operating discipline — a way to make digital delivery predictable, measurable, and inclusive from the start. My work focuses on removing friction across product, design, engineering, and QA so teams can deliver consistently while meeting the needs of people with disabilities. I use accessibility as a diagnostic lens: it reveals where requirements are unclear, where decisions stall, and where rework drains time and budget. Fixing those patterns strengthens the entire delivery system. I build the structures executives depend on to steer the work: clear acceptance criteria, lifecycle integration, lightweight governance, and metrics that show where teams are gaining or losing predictability. I translate ambiguous risk into actionable strategy and give leaders the levers they need to invest wisely. Across my career, I’ve supported organizations with complex digital footprints and fast-moving roadmaps. I specialize in unifying disciplines that don’t naturally speak the same language, helping them move from intention to consistent, repeatable results. The throughline in all my work is simple: Accessibility is how you know the work is working. When teams deliver inclusively, they also deliver with fewer surprises, less rework, and more confidence. Open to advancing to Chief Accessibility Officer or SVP roles in compliance.
