Inspirational leaders build the best organizations with clarity, trust, and alignment.

I read what's happening in your organization, then help you build for results.

Who I work with

Organizations ready to grow

I help organizations through leadership transitions, realignment, and turnarounds, building stronger trust and better results.

Leaders in transition

New CEOs, COOs, and CMOs. I help you find clarity and make a positive impact, fast.

How I contribute

Executive advising: A thinking partner for leaders navigating new roles, new levels of responsibility, or periods of change that benefit from outside perspective. I help you see your situation with more clarity and make smart, timely choices.
Projects: I help you build trust and alignment to enable excellence. I read what your people and your business need, find root causes, then build plans to get you where you need to be.
Fractional leadership: Experienced leadership for a specific initiative or period of change, without a full-time hire. I lead the work directly, inside your organization, for as long as it takes.
Workshops: Built around what your team needs, to create the shared clarity, trust, and alignment so that everyone can do their best work together.

My approach

I bring twenty years of experience and frameworks grounded in research and tested in my own career. Paired with your business knowledge, your intuition, and the reality of your organization, we build the clarity, trust, and alignment that get results.

That work starts with the questions every leader faces: what's constraining us, what do our people need right now, what's the right path forward. There's no single right way to answer them, but every leader needs a toolkit for it. What matters is having one, keeping it sharp, and knowing which tool the moment calls for.

Contributions to your toolkit:

Diagnose

Alignment: A diagnostic built on the 4S model (strategy, structure, processes, and skills) that shows what's constraining your organization's performance.

The Trust Playbook: A diagnostic for trust problems. It shows where trust is strong or weak, why, what it costs, and how to fix it.

The Six Human Needs at Work: An instrument to read what your people need so you can build trust and engagement.

Know Where You Stand: A framework for improved strategic decisions by reading three landscapes before you decide: the terrain you're navigating, the state of your team, and your own internal state.

Decide

Three-Lever Leadership: A way to decide faster and influence outcomes more effectively with three decision levers: behavior, boundary, or operating model

Build

Comprehensive Quality Planning: A healthcare planning framework that creates alignment and trust by putting quality at the center of every goal.

Grow

Threshold Leaders: A practice to develop the discipline of leading under pressure.

These are tools I've built, use, share, and revise, not the only ones for this work.

Over twenty years experience across regional health systems and medical centers, PE-backed behavioral health, VC-funded startups, management consulting, and global public health. My breadth and range means I catch patterns and details others miss.

I read what people are feeling, thinking, and needing, and connect it to how an organization should be led.

Endurance sports and four 100-mile trail ultramarathon finishes teaches me to read multiple landscapes simultaneously (what's ahead, what's immediately in front of me, and what's in me) and calibrate my effort to match. I bring that same awareness to the teams I work with.

Results

Diagnosed root causes of medical staff disengagement at a regional medical center, delivering a stabilization plan to repair trust. Advise CEO.
Redesigned annual planning for a 6-hospital regional health system and academic medical center, cutting system goals from 18 to 12 and establishing shared priorities

Improved operating margin 4% through pricing strategy and operational turnaround at VC-backed services company

Sourced and closed proprietary M&A deal adding $1.1M EBITDA and new market territory for PE-backed autism therapy provider
Restored financial compliance at VC-backed mental health SaaS startup through balance sheet cleanup, bank access controls, procurement and expense policies, and tax compliance
Accomplished ultra marathoner with four 100 mile finishes, NH48er

Thought Leadership

I write about how to lead yourself and your organization well to bring out your best.

I share frameworks and diagnostics I've built and personal stories from my own life at work, on the trail, and in the world.
