Introduction
My DNA is helping people, teams and organizations navigate operational and relationship challenges. From supporting enterprise clients in a SaaS environment, to managing live flight operations for a Canadian regional airline, to leading multicultural teams in international resorts in Greece and Thailand, I have consistently been trusted to understand different perspectives, build strong relationships, and bring clarity and alignment in complex environments. Throughout my career, curiosity has often led me into unfamiliar environments, where I have learned quickly, built trust and helped people and projects move forward. As a result, I naturally operate somewhere between coach and orchestra conductor. Today, I am especially interested in joining a multicultural, mission-driven organization where I can contribute to meaningful and tangible projects, help turn purpose into action, and continue to learn, grow and make a positive impact on people.
