Seeing the Board

I’ve served on public, private, and nonprofit boards, often stepping in during moments of change, complexity, or opportunity. With a deep understanding of how each piece moves, I help teams see the full board, uncover blind spots, and build strategies that win.

Good boards shape strategy. Great boards help make it real.

I bring a founder’s urgency, an operator’s discipline, and a strategist’s eye for the big picture. I don’t just weigh in from the sidelines. I engage, connect dots, and help leadership teams deliver when it matters most. Whether coaching a ceo through a tough call or helping a board align in a high-stakes moment, I show up with the kind of trust, discretion and focus that often unlocks the most meaningful results.
