An avid listener and problem-solver, I am skilled at quickly assessing where to look for roadblocks or opportunities, and identifying the strategies, insights, tools and techniques to step change the outcomes for your business.
My experience in developing and executing strategic plans, driving operational efficiency and fostering cross-functional collaboration, enables me to zoom out to see the big picture, identify linkages and opportunities at an operational and tactical level, quickly determine priorities and execute on next steps.
