I’m a commercial growth leader with 20+ years of experience across medical device, and mission-driven organizations, focused on helping teams turn strategy into execution and results.

My background includes leading commercial, building strategic account relationships across complex health systems, and driving go-to-market execution in highly competitive environments. I’ve worked extensively with integrated delivery networks and cross-functional stakeholders, aligning clinical, operational, and executive priorities to drive meaningful and sustainable growth.

Over time, I’ve become increasingly focused on how organizations actually execute—not just what they plan. Across both corporate and nonprofit environments, I’ve seen where breakdowns occur: limited visibility into pipelines, inconsistent sales processes, and misalignment across teams. My work has centered on bringing structure, clarity, and accountability to these environments—helping teams operate more effectively and consistently.

This exploration has led to doing practical talks and training for AI enablement. I have a talent for breaking down the complex and making it simple. Through training and advisory I support organizations in improving sales execution, streamlining processes, and increasing productivity without adding unnecessary complexity. I view AI as a practical tool to enhance performance, not replace it, and focus on real-world application within commercial teams.

I’m particularly interested in roles where I can contribute at both a strategic and execution level—leading teams, strengthening commercial systems, and helping organizations grow in a more disciplined and aligned way.

In addition to my leadership work, I’m passionate about career development and personal growth. I recently authored Unbound: Know Yourself as an Asset, focused on helping individuals better understand and leverage their strengths in evolving professional environments. I’ll also be speaking at the Professional Women in Healthcare Summit on AI and career development, exploring how individuals and organizations can adapt and grow in a rapidly changing landscape.

Currently exploring leadership opportunities in healthcare and mission-driven organizations where I can contribute to growth, execution, and long-term organizational success. As well as taking on more training clients and proving out models to drive measurable ROI with AI.
