I help companies accelerate M&A integration and large-scale change success 🔥 Expert Leadership & Career Advisor 🔥 Fractional HR Leader

As the CEO of The Promoted, I help ambitious corporate leaders break through career stagnation and achieve the promotions they deserve without sacrificing their well-being. With 20+ years of experience as a former F500 SVP and Head of HR, I’ve sat in countless rooms where decisions about promotions were made—and I know exactly what it takes to stand out, lead effectively, and advance to the next level.

At The Promoted, I teach leaders how to navigate the unwritten rules of the corporate game. Through my signature programs and one-on-one coaching, I provide the clarity, strategies, and tools leaders need to take control of their careers, build executive presence, and gain recognition for their contributions.

I also work as a Fractional Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) and a trusted partner to organizations undergoing transformational change, including mergers and acquisitions. My expertise in aligning leadership, people strategies, and operational objectives helps businesses navigate transitions with confidence, ensuring both cultural and operational success.

I’m passionate about empowering leaders to realize their full potential. Having coached thousands of executives, I’ve seen how the right mindset, skills, and strategies can turn frustration into fulfillment—and I’m here to help make that transformation a reality.

If you’re a corporate leader ready to take charge of your career, let’s connect.
