About

Most leadership challenges aren’t strategy problems—they’re people problems. Miscommunication, lack of trust, cultural friction, and underdeveloped managers quietly erode performance every day.

I bring 20 years of experience leading global teams across supply chain planning and strategic partnerships for Fortune 500 organizations including McDonald’s, Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, and Sears—operating in complex, high-pressure environments where leadership quality directly impacts results.

Those experiences taught me the most important lessons of my career:

• Process matters, but people matter more.

• 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; bringing together data-driven insight and human-centered development to help leaders grow with clarity and purpose.

Why organizations partner with me

• Operator’s mindset: I’ve led large, complex teams and understand the realities leaders face—not just the theory.

• People-first development: I focus on the human capabilities that directly affect performance: communication, trust, feedback, and self-awareness.

• Cross-cultural fluency: Fluent in five languages with deep global experience*, I help teams navigate difference without friction or misunderstanding.

Certifications:

I am currently completing my ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential and continuing advanced training in evidence-based leadership development methodologies. This ensures my work meets rigorous professional standards while remaining grounded in real-world leadership experience.

* 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've also lived in Brazil, Canada, the USA, and Poland

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.
