About

I help leaders bridge divides, build trust, and lead with more humanity.

After two decades leading global teams in supply chain, forecasting, and strategic partnerships for brands like McDonald's, Starbucks, Chic-Fil-A, (through HAVI), Krispy Kreme and Sears, I learned the most important lesson of my career: process matters, but people matter more.

The best strategies fall flat without strong leadership. The most talented teams underperform without trust and communication. And the biggest opportunities get missed when cultural differences become barriers instead of bridges.

That's why I've dedicated my work to developing the skills that truly move organizations forward—people skills, cultural intelligence, feedback fluency, and the courage to lead authentically in complex environments.

My coaching and workshops draw from real-world leadership experience, cross-cultural understanding, and behavioral science principles. I'm currently expanding my toolkit by pursuing certifications in Leadership Coaching, Strengths-Based Leadership, Designing Your Life, DISC, and Situational Leadership—bringing together data-driven insight and human-centered development to help leaders grow with clarity and purpose.

Beyond my corporate work, I founded Filled Cups, a separate initiative focused on solving the loneliness epidemic through in-person connection events and personal growth content. While distinct from my leadership coaching practice, it reflects the same core belief: when people feel connected—to themselves, to each other, and to their purpose—extraordinary things become possible.

Why Work With Me

I bring together three perspectives rarely found in one coach:

Strategic Operator – Twenty years leading complex global operations gives me credibility with executives and insight into what actually works in high-pressure business environments.

People Developer – I'm genuinely passionate about mentoring, communication, and watching leaders discover what they're truly capable of achieving.

Cultural Connector – I've had extensive global work experience* and lived in multiple countries**. I'm fluent in five languages and deeply attuned to cultural nuance. I help diverse teams communicate across differences with empathy, clarity, and respect.

When I show up to coach or facilitate, my goal isn't just to teach concepts—it's to transform how people show up for each other, and for themselves, at work.

* I've worked with global teams in India, Poland, China, Hong Kong, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Philippines, Ukraine, Belarus, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Brazil, and of course, the USA, where I am based.

** I lived in Brazil, Canada, the USA, and Poland
