I step into complex challenges, stalled initiatives, and opportunities without a clear path forward—and help turn them into real-world results.
Some challenges don’t fit neatly into a job description, a department, or an existing plan. An initiative is stuck. The right people aren’t connected. A promising idea needs someone to figure out what it takes to make it real.
That’s where I come in.
Align employers, training, funding, and talent pipelines around real workforce needs.
Bring organizations and stakeholders together around shared opportunities—and make the relationships useful.
Take ownership of complex initiatives, unexpected gaps, and work that doesn’t fit neatly into one department.
Understand a new market, navigate local systems, find the right partners, and establish a path forward.
A few examples of the work:
CHALLENGE: A sprawling modernization effort where technology, organizations, and competing priorities all had to move together.
ROLE: Enterprise Software Director
CHALLENGE:Turning an open-ended concept into a workable plan—navigating constraints, adapting the approach, and keeping the bigger vision alive.
ROLE: Special Projects Director
CHALLENGE: Bringing people, institutions, funding, and place together to build an innovation ecosystem.
ROLE: Innovation Director: Public-Private Partnerships, Strategy, Outreach
My work lives at the intersection of people, systems, and opportunity. Across workforce and economic development, partnerships, and complex strategic initiatives, I help organizations navigate challenges that require more than a conventional approach.
I bring a systems-level perspective, an ability to see possibilities across organizational boundaries, and a willingness to step into the messy middle—where plans meet reality and progress takes work.
I'm most useful when the challenge is important, the path isn't obvious, and someone needs to help make it happen.
