WELCOME TO HIGHER
Empowering Leadership. Accelerating Growth.
20+ years as an HR executive and certified executive coach, helping CEOs and founders transform leadership, culture, and talent strategy. I don't just advise — I partner, co-create, and stay in the work until change actually sticks.
My approach blends deep business insight with a collaborative style that builds trust, accelerates adoption, and drives measurable outcomes. From executive alignment sessions and leadership coaching to comprehensive organizational transformation strategies, I don’t just advise — I partner, co-create, and act with leaders to move their organizations further, faster.
Hiring smart people isn't the same as building a smart team. I've watched plenty of talented groups underperform because no one ever unpacked how their different styles were actually colliding — who pushes for speed, who needs to slow down and think, who goes quiet under pressure. Psychological safety is at the center of this: it's not a feeling you inspire in a workshop; it's something a team either has or doesn't based on how people actually behave under pressure day to day. I work with teams to surface those patterns using proven behavioral tools, then turn that insight into how you actually operate — how you make decisions, handle disagreement, and support each other when things get hard. This isn't a one-time offsite. I help you build it into the way the team works day to day, so the awareness sticks long after I'm gone.
Capability: Executive Coaching & Leadership Development
I've sat in enough executive meetings to know that leadership isn't built in a workshop — it's built in the moments when things get hard. My coaching works the same way: grounded in your real challenges, not a canned framework. I help leaders get honest about what's working and what isn't, build the confidence to make the calls only they can make, and come out the other side more capable than when we started. A big part of that is helping leaders understand their own role in psychological safety — they set the tone, absorb pressure on behalf of their people, and either open the door for honest feedback or quietly close it. Twenty years of doing this work means I know the difference between a leader who needs a push and one who needs a mirror.
Talent Strategy
Your business is only as strong as the people carrying it forward — and too many organizations treat talent as an afterthought until a key leader walks out the door. I work with CEOs and founders to build talent strategies that hold up under pressure: clear plans for leadership continuity, rewards that actually motivate the right behavior, and retention approaches rooted in what your people need, not a generic template. This isn't a binder that sits on a shelf. I sit with you and your team to design it together, so what we build gets used, gets tested, and gets results you can point to.
Organizational Transformation
Aligning your structure and culture to where the business is headed sounds simple on paper — until you try to do it while running the business. I don't hand you a deck and disappear. I work alongside your leadership team through the messy middle: redesigning structure, considering processes, closing the gap between culture and strategy, and staying in the room as changes actually take hold across the organization — whether you're in chemical, automotive, healthcare, or another industry entirely. The plan only matters if it survives to a steady state where your people can not only execute, but it has staying power. I stay engaged through implementation, not just the diagnosis.
