About

I build better leaders—and I mean that literally. As the Founder of LongView Consulting Group, I help organizations elevate leadership, unlock team potential, and recruit talent that fuels transformation. With a background leading talent and coaching initiatives at Meta, Amazon, and Roblox, plus experience across industries like retail, healthcare, and high-growth startups—I’ve seen firsthand what happens when people strategy is done right. My work spans four core pillars: 1️⃣ Executive Coaching (Director-Level and Above) I coach rising and senior leaders to navigate complexity with confidence. Whether it's stepping into a bigger seat, managing visibility, or leading through change—I help them lead with more clarity, presence, and purpose. → Coaching clients have secured promotions, expanded global teams, and led through high-stakes transitions with increased trust and impact. 2️⃣ Team Development Teams don’t need another icebreaker—they need alignment, communication, and accountability. I facilitate high-impact sessions using DISC, the GROW model, and Five Dysfunctions frameworks. → My signature program, Build a Better Leader, helps middle managers step into their power and lead like execs in training. It’s where tactical skill meets mindset mastery. 3️⃣ Recruiting & Outplacement From confidential exec searches to targeted leadership placements, I find talent that builds legacy—not just headcount. I also offer outplacement services—career coaching, resume strategy, and transition support that helps exiting employees land well and leaves your brand intact. → Past clients have reduced time-to-fill by 30–45 days and improved retention in key leadership roles. 4️⃣ Speaking & Facilitation I’ve spoken at conferences including TA Week, SHRM’s INCLUSION, HR Florida, and SourceCon, delivering sessions that spark behavior change, challenge status quos, and leave leaders with real tools they can apply the next day. I bring energy, clarity, and bold insight—whether I’m keynoting, workshopping, or moderating conversations that matter. 🌍 Beyond the business, I serve as President of Blacks in Technology – Tampa and am an active member of the Junior League of Tampa, committed to building community, creating access, and uplifting future leaders. 🎯 Bottom line? Whether you’re navigating growth, change, or leadership transitions, I bring the strategy, heart, and partnership to help you lead through it. 📩 Let’s connect: www.LongViewConsultingGroup.com | DM me here on LinkedIn
