About Me

I've spent the better part of two decades helping organizations listen differently, align deeply, and act wisely. I've worked with large corporates, scrappy startups, government agencies, and nonprofits—each teaching me something new about the art of facilitation.

What I Bring to Our Work Together

I believe in the power of conversation to unlock possibilities that didn't exist before. My approach combines strategic thinking with creative process design, helping teams navigate uncertainty while building the capacity to thrive in complexity.

Beyond the Work

When I'm not facilitating strategic retreats or coaching leaders, you might find me experimenting with all forms of generative technologies with my partner Hamid Ennachat at Jedi On The Fly

I'm based in Florida but work with clients globally. Genuine change knows no geographic boundaries. Every engagement is an opportunity to learn something new about what's possible when we approach challenges with both rigor and imagination.
