I’m a brand strategist by training but have loads of other marketing, management and sales experience.

I’ve held senior level positions in multiple design, communications and brand agencies and have helped build three satellite offices. My last position was as SVP/General Manager for San Francisco’s Sterling Brands where I had the great fortune to work with many top global, national and regional brands.

I’ve traveled the world, spent five years working with global NGO’s and non-profits and have now designed a practice that lets me bring these professional and cultural experiences to agencies and client teams that need a specialist.  

If you work with me, you will get an enthusiastic, “we” minded, can-do optimist who listens, leads and collaborates. 

The other side of me:

I’m a member of the SF Founder Institute which advises Bay Area startups and have also advised many social venture start-ups through organizations such as Impact Hub, the Branson School of Entrepreneurship and UNICEF Innovation Labs.

I’ve lectured, moderated and been a panelist at SOCAP, and many educational institutions on social ventures as well.

I have an innate curiosity for people and culture. Inspired as a wee one by my Gramma’s Polaroid shots after her international travel, I went on to join the inaugural East Asian People-to-People high school student exchange courtesy of the Dwight D Eisenhower program. This laid the lifelong foundation and deep desire to understand how people of all cultures connect in this world.
