"We don't know what to do with you."
If I had a dollar. They said that because I'm adaptable, curious, and an explorer. The truth is, most organizations don't know what to do with people like that, yet they are the ones they need most. I transitioned my finance career into Medical Devices, supporting the C-Suite of the world's largest manufacturer in corporate strategy, then dove into a field-based role driving therapy adoption at the HCP level. That's the future of work - people who get stuff done. My superpower is finding the signal in the noise to deliver strategic foresight, actionable plans, and results.
Beyond polished slides, I get stuff done.
- Turned around a failing product franchise in one year to achieve 106% of plan
- Improved market forecasting accuracy to 98% from 90% using predictive analytics
- Marketing Innovation award for a value-based healthcare initiative
- Recognized for building high-performing teams and leadership
- Directly responsible for or engineered eight product launches
- Planned a AAA screening in the Louisiana State Capitol building during session
I know what to do with me. Whether you're a C-Suite Executive, a founder, or a functional leader, don't worry about my title. Put me to work solving your biggest strategy, marketing, and talent challenges and navigating a path to success.
Because I'm built for this.
