About

Business Leader with expertise in strategic planning, designing programmatic capabilities and driving execution within a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Extensive experience providing thought leadership and navigating internal and external teams towards the vision while treading new paths without a blueprint and overcoming a wide variety of interesting and complex challenges. I am not always the one who has the “right” answer to everything but rather what I bring to the table is the ability to quickly identify a productive programmatic solution by bringing together the right people, process, and technology; getting buy-in, rapidly earning credibility and trust with all levels of the organization, and driving results with a resilient and agile mindset - embracing failure as an opportunity for growth and quickly adapting on the fly.
