I've been blessed with a wide range of professional experiences, an unending curiosity for solving complex challenges, and a belief that we can do better as a society to create a world that balances profit and purpose.
Professionally, I've led divisional corporate turnaround and product development efforts in the financial services sector. Built a marketing agency that achieved Inc 5000 status. Launched a business accelerator, recognized for promoting entrepreneurship and economic development. Invested in commercial real estate in a disinvested neighborhood to be a catalyst for change. Spearheaded a hackathon that won international recognition by NASA and the White House. Led innovation efforts for a nonprofit agency focused on theory of change and design thinking to address economic inequality. And built a consulting firm that helps organizations in the journey of change to balance profit and purpose.
