Operational expertise rooted in two decades of global delivery.
From $30M Portfolios to the Advisor's Chair
For over 20 years, I lived the reality of the corporate microscope at IBM and PwC. I've held P&L responsibility for multi-million dollar cloud transformation programs and led global practices where decision velocity and cultural alignment were the only things that mattered.
I realized that technical mastery is only the price of admission. The true challenge for newly appointed senior leaders is navigating the complexity, visibility, and political intensity of their first year.
Today, through "The First Year," I serve as a strategic partner for executives. I help them read the landscape quickly, avoid high-cost missteps, and accelerate their early credibility so they can lead with authentic authority.
