About Me

I'm a strategic, human-centered HR and organizational leader with 16 years of global experience across Fortune 100 companies. My work lives at the intersection of strategic HR business partnership, executive coaching & consulting and enterprise org transformation.

Whether leading large-scale transformations or building inclusive talent strategies, I translate business strategy, uncertainty and complexity into actionable, people-first, future-ready solutions rooted in clarity, accountability, purpose and care.

I received my bachelors from Purdue University (Lafayette, IN) with a concentration in Strategic Business Management. I have a Master’s in Learning & Organizational Change Management (I/O Psychology) from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) which underpins my approach to organization design and development through a people science and behavioral economics lens.

I’ve lived, worked and operated across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, bringing cultural fluency, empathy, insight, and systems-level thinking to everything I do.
