About
Creator of the Me-to-We Continuum of Brand Citizenship, Award Winning Thought-Leader, Author and International Speaker, Advocate for Human-Centered Leadership.
Endlessly curious about human behavior, I explore how shifting cultural dynamics shape people’s relationships with brands, one another and purpose. As a researcher and strategist, I invite others to gain new perspectives alongside me. In doing so, together we can anticipate the unexpected and overcome apparent boundaries as we bring new possibilities to life.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a stakeholder approach to business, taken a broader societal vision and aimed to have a positive social impact. I practice a leadership style centered on integrity, collaboration and collective success. Recognizing the importance of aligning organizational behaviors and actions with human-centered qualities to a brand’s long-term growth, I transitioned into brand consulting after working in strategic planning and research in banking. Since the Me-to-We continuum of Brand Citizenship emerged unsolicited in research, I have been on a larger mission to shift the consciousness of business — guiding brands and leaders to integrate purpose and innate human qualities into brand development and operations.
Over the years, my work has included rebranding and cultural transformation; brand architecture and product/service portfolio development; brand-led M&A and spin-off prep; and brand-based thought leadership. Today, I also advise leaders, brands and entrepreneurs on how to meaningfully connect people and performance with purpose. I bring the breadth of knowledge gained through diverse work and life experiences — including living in the UK and working and traveling globally for nearly two decades — guiding clients to foster trust, collaboration, and human potential in every engagement….
