I help founders and senior leaders build companies and careers that are strategically sharp and personally sustainable through brand advisory, strategic leadership support, and executive coaching. My work combines coaching, consulting, and serving as a fractional brand executive to help leadership teams clarify market positioning, make higher-quality decisions, and align brand and narrative with business reality. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, brand, and executive judgment. Clients bring me in when: • Strategy feels reactive, fragmented, or incomplete • Messaging no longer reflects the business • Leadership alignment is breaking down • Activity choices are not aligned with core values • Leadership requires a thought partner to challenge assumptions and help them to define the path forward Whether you need a senior strategic partner for your business, an embedded brand leader, or a dedicated thinking partner for yourself, each engagement is structured to deliver clarity, impact, and real forward movement. Services include: ​ • Executive coaching for founders and senior leaders navigating high-stakes decisions, transitions, or growth • Strategic advisory on positioning, brand narrative, and go-to-market clarity • Fractional CMO/brand officer support for companies that need senior marketing leadership without a full-time hire • Leadership alignment workshops to resolve internal positioning or marketing confusion and sharpen strategic direction​ Engagements are EQ-driven, reflective, and built around your specific situation, not a framework applied from the outside. My background includes senior roles at The Walt Disney Company, advisory work for global organizations including MARS Corp., and building a profitable independent consulting practice. I hold an MBA from UCLA Anderson and have over a decade of experience advising leadership teams across B2B, B2C, and venture-backed companies. If you’re looking for senior judgment, clarity, and a trusted external perspective, I’m likely a good fit.

I'm eager to support ideas, concepts, and businesses looking to grow and connect with stellar ideas and relevant content. For the past five years, I've written thousands of stories for publications in Orange and Los Angeles counties. While I have repeatedly demonstrated how to reach targeted audiences with impact, my business background makes me eager to help others reach their full potential. I graduated from numerous workshops, including the Gazelle Scaling-Up Rockefeller Habits, and I've worked for a billionaire putting together projects around the world. My experience and unique skill set allow me to strategize every opportunity, whether it is a business plan, high-value concept, or public relations campaign. Even a simple essay, or op-ed, should consider the same factors and appeal to audiences with a calculated effect. Even if you're simply looking for advice, I have consulted with companies and political leaders from around the world, offering instant insights that change the course of speeches, business developments, and other initiatives. The events and trauma of the pandemic have radically changed almost everything. Old perceptions, values, and traditions must now play host to a new set of ground rules that very few fully understand. My work on the frontline of media has forced me to understand the new mindset and how to interface with it. New expectations, generational shifts, and other factors must be considered with every brush with the public. For projects with synergy and similar values, I'm looking forward to working with you.
