Today’s world demands a new vision of leadership.
From market changes to climate change, global impact to social impact—our organizational ecosystems are shifting in ways that require a new vision of leadership. One that challenges traditional philosophies of power and understands that success lies in empowering the people around you. Today’s world demands leaders who can move beyond outdated business models to meet the moment we are in today. It needs leaders who can transform organizations to be more resilient, profitable and impactful.
Having rich experience on both sides of the table—as a strategic C-suite executive leader and as a successful entrepreneur—informs my understanding of problems, how to solve them and also how to seize the right opportunities.
When the going gets tough, and even when it’s smooth sailing, I reference these values to ensure alignment between my head, heart and gut.
Respect for everyone, all the time
Integrity in what I do and how I do it
Inclusivity because there is no other way
Collaboration that ensures the best results
Kindness in my words and behavior
Celebration of the small and big wins
Gratitude that begins and ends each day
