Who I am
My leadership style is about work-life balance, nurturing your team, proactive change management and a constant focus on tangible deliverables. I developed this approach over 20 years as an executive with the Government of Canada, where I led large digital, communications and policy teams. I did this while putting my family and health first.
I focus on implementation – turning great ideas into concrete results. My expertise covers user-first digital services, corporate communications, governance, and federal social programs. I am skilled at leading people, advising senior leaders, client service, managing complex projects, and issues management.
I am a certified business coach (International Coaching Federation, FLOW). I am briefed as a PROSCI executive change sponsor. Based in Ottawa, I can work internationally and offer my services in English and French.
I use proven tools and knowledge sources to deliver my services, including:
- The International Coaching Federation and the FLOW Coaching Institute – for ethical and thought-provoking coaching,
- The Harvard Business Review – for the latest leadership ideas and advice,
- PROSCI – for effective change leadership.
I hold an Honours Bachelor of Commerce in public policy from the University of Ottawa. I completed graduate courses in public administration at Carleton University. And yes, I love jazz guitar.
