I didn’t take a straight path to the C-suite. I started in entry-level sales at a biopharma company, where I learned something foundational: access changes everything. Access to the right people, the right rooms, the right ideas, and the right opportunities.

​

But access isn’t always given.

I was passed over for promotions. I was downsized. I had to retool, reinvent, and rebuild more than once. Every setback forced me to adapt. Every transition sharpened my ability to influence outcomes without a title. Over 30 years, those experiences shaped a leadership perspective that mirrors what many of my clients face today.

​

No matter the context, public affairs or leadership development, my work centers on one belief:

​

Access shouldn’t be reserved for the few — not in policy and not in leadership.

If you’re trying to bring something meaningful to the world — an innovation, a vision, a voice, a calling — I’m here to help remove the barriers between you and the impact you’re built to make.
