Experience

1. Vistage Chair

   Vistage Worldwide, Inc.

   Mar 2026 — Present

   As a Vistage Chair, I lead a peer advisor group for CEOs and business owners who want to become better leaders and achieve better results. As an Executive Advisor and Coach, I leverage my experience, certifications and psychologically grounded insights to challenge leaders to shift from reactive and crisis driven leadership to clarity and strategic presence. In both roles I drive leaders to achieve results that will grow them as individuals, for deeper impact in their families, their company and their community.
