The Version of Me You Might Recognize

I spent 25 years in senior corporate leadership — Victoria's Secret, Target, Starbucks. I know what it means to lead at a level where you cannot afford to look like you're struggling.

I also know what it costs.

My father had Parkinson's and Lewy Body dementia for six years. During that time I kept going. I was running a $400M business, raising two boys, and giving my career what I believed it needed most from me. In December 2022, my father was hospitalized. I took a five-month leave of absence. When I came back — having sold my house and moved my mother in with us so she wouldn't be alone — nothing felt the same. Not my life. Not my work. And the organization had moved on.

Within a year, I had too.

I hadn't been treated poorly. I had just been invisible in the ways that mattered.

What I know now is that no infrastructure existed for what I was carrying. Not at work. Not in any system I could find. I was navigating a medical crisis, a financial transition, a family reconfiguration, and a career — all at once — with no map and no margin.

So I built the map.

What I Actually Do

I advise senior leaders through caregiving seasons — the ones that arrive without warning, expand without permission, and ask more of you than any job description ever prepared you for.

This is not wellness coaching. It is not eldercare coordination. It is strategic advisory work for high-performing leaders who are navigating one of the most complex seasons of their professional and personal lives simultaneously — and who are done improvising.

The work is built on the CARE Method. A four-phase proprietary framework that moves you through Clarify, Align, Redesign, and Embody across three domains: how you lead, how you live, and how you care. Whether we work privately through The Playbook, together in The Collective, or you start with a single Recalibration session — that's the through line.

I also work with organizations — partnering with companies to build the frameworks, language, and leadership infrastructure that keep their best people from disappearing when caregiving arrives. That work lives at the intersection of retention, leadership pipeline continuity, and culture — not in the wellness budget.

And I'm writing a book. Because the leaders I work with deserved a roadmap before they ever found me — and the next ones shouldn't have to search as long.
