The outcomes I value most go beyond the numbers.
My proudest achievements are the trusted partnerships I’ve built, the coalitions I’ve helped align, and the emerging leaders I’ve mentored along the way.
I believe durable change comes from investing in people and relationships as intentionally as we invest in strategy—and I lead with that ethos in every role I take on.
