      I am the founder of a boutique management consulting firm. I serve as a guide and adviser to corporate executives, helping them untangle their most challenging leadership and organizational challenges. When unproductive relationships, fuzzy lines of accountability, and snarled lines of communication lead to blame, "us versus them" behavior, and conflict, I bring pragmatic, research-based solutions grounded in adult development, neuroscience, and complexity theory to get to the heart of the matter. Clients of my consulting firm have included marquis Fortune 500 firms, mid-size companies, and start-ups. Past clients have included Genentech, Celera, Solyndra, Stanford University, Cisco, Quantum, and others, also listed below.
