Leadership Clarity

Strategy designed for outcomes, not decks.

I help leadership teams and investors align strategy with market realities and internal priorities—so it holds through growth, M&A, leadership changes, and shifting priorities.

About me

I partner with executive teams and investors ensuring decisions remain durable through growth, turnarounds, M&A, leadership transitions, and shifting business conditions.

My background includes senior executive and C-suite roles across startups, industry analyst firms, and global enterprise software companies, including two exits as a founder. For more than a decade I've been named one of the most influential leaders in HRTech/Worktech, spoken at every major industry event and my investment work spans institutional capital, strategic acquirers, and sell-side leadership, supporting ~$3B in investment and M&A activity on three continents. 

Throughout my career, I have helped organizations navigate complexity and transformation and learned the core challenge is rarely vision or ambition—it is alignment. Strategy and market insight becomes fragmented across functions during key growth points, leading to inconsistent execution and diluted impact.

Strategy only works when people are aligned around it.
