I have over 30 years of Global Retained Search experience in the US, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, Asia and Latin America.
I focus on Director, Vice President level, C-Level and Board level assignments.
I have been passionate about diversity and inclusion my whole career with a desire to do my small part regarding meaningful change.
I serve clients ranging from VC and PE-backed start-ups and turnarounds to small and medium sized disruptors. I started my early work in biopharma, medical devices, diagnostics, and service providers. Over the past 7 years, I have been heavily involved with innovators that converge with life sciences, AI, tech, health tech, and climate tech. That includes difficult-to-find Executives and Board/NED candidates globally.
