For nearly 18 years in Portland, “one of America’s greenest cities” (Time), I’ve helped build and scale diverse leadership teams for innovative organizations with inspiring missions at their core. I specialize in partnering with CEOs, Founders, and Boards who are redefining industries, from Fortune 100s to cutting-edge biotech and cybersecurity to mission-driven nonprofits / government entities, and high growth PE/VC backed companies. My placements span C-suite to individual contributors, with a focus on values-aligned, high-performance talent who thrive in complexity and change.Personally, I was raised in a multicultural household by a Lakota Sioux father – a Navy veteran who grew up as an orphan in deep poverty; this experience strengthens my commitment to creating inclusive environments where all voices are heard and valued.Selected Clients & Leadership Influence:Industry Focus:AI / ML / LLMs | Software (SaaS, EPM, CRM, ERP)| Biotech & Life Sciences | Healthcare | Infosec & Cybersecurity | Professional Services | F&B & Consumer Goods | Manufacturing | Government & Public Sector | Nonprofit & NGO | Analytics & Finance | Education | Construction, AEC & Real Estate Core Expertise: • Executive Search & Leadership Recruitment • Talent Strategy • Organizational Design & Team Scaling • Personal Branding & Executive Résumé Coaching • Leadership Development & Succession Planning • Culture Transformation & 360 Feedback Programs • Deep fluency in HR tech: Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Taleo, Tracker, HRIS/PeopleSoft, Access, RDBMS (and former systems architect)Storytelling + Strategy:Also an award-winning writer, my ability to surface authentic stories—and translate them into strategy—helps both leaders and organizations stand apart.Driven by Curiosity.
