Over the course of my career, I’ve led large-scale transformation across complex, regulated businesses, most recently building and leading a 650+ person enterprise platform spanning risk, compliance, change, quality, and client and employee experience for a top U.S. bank. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, people, and execution. I translate business priorities into operating models, leadership expectations, and performance systems that drive results. My experience includes serving as a senior people and culture leader, aligning talent strategy, leadership expectations, and organizational design to business outcomes. Key areas of focus include- Organizational design and operating model transformation - Performance management and accountability systems, including OKRs - Leadership development and capability building at scale - Enterprise change execution across large, matrixed organizations - Integrating risk, control, and performance into day-to-day operations I focus on bringing clarity and alignment to complex organizations, working with leadership teams to simplify structures and establish operating disciplines that support performance and engagement. This work has supported improvements in engagement, retention, and organizational efficiency. In addition to my operating roles, I serve on the board of the Children’s Institute, where I chair the Governance Committee and support CEO transition and board effectiveness.
