WORK HISTORY
Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) @broadhead.
I lead strategy across the agency—connecting foresight, brand positioning, media, data science, and organizational transformation. I help clients navigate cultural shifts and systemic change, and guide internal leadership development, ESG work, and strategic growth. My lens is anthropological, my goal is clarity, and I believe the best strategies start with better questions.
