About

Executive leader, board director, collaborator. Imaging the future, taking action to turn it into reality, and always seeking partners to collaborate alongside.

I have significant experience in building organizations, international investment and capital attraction, global trade, and talent attraction. One of my skills is vision - linking complex issues and opportunities to purpose and action, which helps make a path forward clearer to navigate and compelling. In all of my roles, partnership and collaboration have been central themes and I have a proven ability to form collaborative and trusting relationships cultures across diverse networks.

I've served on several boards of directors and committees - local, national, and international.

Committed community volunteer.
