About

I believe our work is one of the ways we steward what God has entrusted to us — our skills, experience, time and influence. For me, that means using what I’m good at to create capacity for leaders to do what they are called to do, while creating space in my own life to invest in missions and causes that matter deeply to me. I work with international founders, CEOs and agency owners who have outgrown ad-hoc operations and need a trusted partner to turn strategy into coordinated execution. I help leaders: * Turn priorities into coordinated action * Bring structure and follow-through to strategic projects * Improve workflows, communication and team effectiveness * Connect the dots and make sure important decisions actually land I’ve spent 12+ years at Novartis, Microsoft and the IFRS Foundation across executive support, project management and continuous improvement. Most recently, I served as Chief of Staff to the Chair of the International Sustainability Standards Board — working at the intersection of leadership, strategy and execution in a newly created, globally significant organisation. Today, I do this as a fractional Chief of Staff, typically one or two days a week. For me, this is about more than building a career. I want to use my experience well, serve people well, and create the freedom to dedicate meaningful time to the missions and causes I believe can make a real difference in this world. If you’re a leader carrying too much of the coordination yourself, I’d love to connect.
