Some people separate
who they are from what they do.
I never figured out how.
Executive leader. Writer. Person doing the work — in the boardroom, at the desk at midnight, and watching the sun go down over the Pacific.
Who I Am
I've spent decades building and leading teams through the kind of transformation that doesn't show up cleanly on a dashboard. Apple. GoPuff. And the places in between where the real work was always people — their capacity, their courage, their growth.
What I've learned — some of it in an instant, some of it through the kind of reconfiguration that takes everything you've got — is that the best leadership I've ever done came from the same place as the best writing I've ever done. From showing up whole. From choosing empathy over easy metrics. From being willing to say I don't have this figured out — and still moving forward.
I believe the employee dashboard often reflects the quality of leadership, not the quality of the team. I believe coaching is harder to measure than metrics and more important than both. I believe organizations that invest in the human capacity of their leaders are the ones that actually become great.
I also write. About leadership and what it quietly demands. About healing and what it teaches. About love, discomfort, and the kind of joy that sneaks up on you while the dog is pulling you toward the ocean.
I live in Pacifica, California with my partner, my daughter, and a Bernedoodle named Cooper who has strong opinions about morning walks.

This site holds all of it. Not a split personality — a whole one, still becoming.
NOTE TO SELF
Love, oh Love
You are a wild one
Ever-changing
Opening new eyes, new doors
Repairing what was broken
Showing up as the subtle whisper
And a shock to the soul
Except when I pause, breathe
Becoming aware and open —
You are here, you are here
(And, of course, coffee...)
FOR ORGANIZATIONS
I align leaders, teams, and operating models so they can actually deliver — at scale, sustainably, without sacrificing the people doing the work. I translate strategy into execution, lead through influence in complex environments, and coach leaders to stop managing metrics and start developing the humans behind them.
FOR THE WRITER
For myself, and anyone who reads along: I write. Essays about leadership and the gap between what organizations say they value and what they actually do. Personal pieces — shorter, quieter — about healing, love, and the work of becoming.
