What I like to do ...
I've enjoyed a rich career in the corporate world, successfully taking on many roles along the way, and was the beneficiary of wonderful mentors. I love to learn which boosted my motivation as I performed many leadership and consulting roles and, as an IBM executive. My values are to provide the best possible service to clients with integrity and to advocate for the people around me.
I transitioned several years ago to become an independent management consultant. Some have inquired why I became independent - I like the idea of simply focusing on delivery to create value for clients. Freelancing has proven to create the perfect balance to accomplish this. I think of myself as a 'ninja' who fills a specified role on each engagement, for each client. In fulfilling those responsibilities, I seek to find ways to support those around me to help them advance, learn, grow and progress. Team success is gratifying and rewarding.
