“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

I am a Leadership Coach with over 30 years of leadership experience in multiple industries (Pharmaceutical, High Tech, and Scientific Equipment). Prior to establishing Prossimo, I directed high-performance teams who delivered outstanding results. In my roles, I coached hundreds of employees to become outstanding managers and executives.

From my corporate experience, I understand first-hand how large organizations work. I have led during both growth times and more challenging and ambiguous periods. I know what it’s like to “do more with less”. I know what it means to plan and execute major strategies with limited resources and high accountability.

For example, I worked closely with a CIO to transform an IT organization. During this experience, one of my distinguishing abilities was to care for and develop people in the organization during a time of significant change. My commitment to people and my passion for leadership has been a common thread throughout my career.

I am known for being honest, approachable and focused on helping others to learn, grow and develop. In addition to years of learning on the job, I am grateful to have completed Georgetown University’s Leadership Coaching Program. I am also a member of the International Coach Federation.
