About

I have built growth from the ground up.

For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of relationships and revenue — building teams, partnerships and commercial models that turn opportunity into measurable growth.

My career has taken me from recruiting and developing college entrepreneurs at The Southwestern Company (now known as Southwestern Advantage), to leading Dell Small Business’s Alternative Routes to Market vertical in the Americas as it grew from $22M to $800M+ in revenue, to working with founders, organizations and entrepreneurial ecosystems across global markets.

Today, I bring those lessons into advisory work, speaking and teaching — helping leaders translate strategy, partnerships and market opportunity into growth they can execute.
