What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can coach leaders, build talent development programs, lead project teams, and help organizations grow with purpose and measurable impact.

I am an ICF‑certified executive coach and seasoned leader with 25 years of leadership and people management experience across organizations from 60 to 200K employees. I combine coaching, talent development, and program management to help individuals and teams realize potential and deliver measurable results.

My background includes directing global project and program teams in cybersecurity and IT, leading integrations during acquisitions, and exceeding revenue targets while improving project health metrics. I have coached over 50 executives, supported veterans in career transitions, and authored hiring strategy content for industry audiences.

I hold an MBA and a Bachelor of Science from U.S. Military Academy, and I apply military leadership rigor alongside corporate program management and modern AI and coaching tools to develop leaders, build future-ready teams, and accelerate career transitions.
