I help health and medical tech companies ensure adoption and lasting impact by translating complex technology into clear value for clinicians, administrators, and patients.

They want strategic partnerships that drive measurable outcomes, proactive relationship management that anticipates their needs, and data-driven insights that influence their business decisions.

That's what I deliver as a Client Success Manager by:

🎯 Driving revenue growth through strategic account management and expansion initiatives 
📊 Leveraging data storytelling to make compelling recommendations that influence stakeholder decisions
🤝 Building trusted advisor relationships at all organizational levels through active listening and stakeholder-focused communication

I was inspired to focus on client success after overcoming two malignant brain tumors at 15, learning what's possible when teams align around common goals with clear communication and mutual support. 

This experience shaped my approach to:

Strategic relationship building - I connect clients with network resources beyond my scope, becoming their go-to trusted advisor for business challenges.

Cross-functional collaboration - I excel at facilitating communication between departments, ensuring seamless client experiences while keeping projects on budget and timeline.

Proactive account management - I treat challenges as opportunities, using analytical skills to identify solutions before they become problems. (Pivoted a critical La Familia anti-Fentanyl campaign after major stakeholder departure, leading cross-functional teams to successful regionwide deployment.)

Product expertise and translation - I absorb complex technical knowledge and translate it into revenue-driving outcomes for diverse decision-makers. (Helped Enovix distill 45-minute technical explanations into compelling 2-minute stories, supporting their $1.13B SPAC and $250M Army contract.)

Client retention and satisfaction - I genuinely celebrate when stakeholder connections I facilitate lead to breakthrough partnerships and business wins.

I host The Human Connection Podcast, exploring how companies build high-retention relationships that drive sustainable growth. (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-human-connection-podcast/id1789888599)

The overarching motivation that drives everything I do is the combination of passion and experience to connect like-minded, talented people. By leveraging my network, and supporting business owners and executives in growing theirs, I’ve made a significant difference in people’s lives. I can say that’s been my one true calling for over 33 years. 

We are delivering support to the local community through two main avenues: peer-advisory groups for both start-up businesses and mature entrepreneurs, via Second Saturday Community Coaching and South Carolina Peer to Peer.  The other is described in detail in the following paragraphs.
I’ve continued to build exceptional business relationships that result in business growth with the acquisition of the South Carolina client-only networking franchises called Network In Action. 

Network In Action is a competitively-constrained group of clients that seek to serve each other through strategic introductions and strong business relationships. 

The revenue generated to date has exceeded all projections and we welcome senior-level management and business owners to become part of our thriving membership.

I'm also available as a private coach for those who have "networking space" (chambers, leads groups, etc.) but want to do a better job of turning their network into RELATIONSHIPS. 6- and 12-month curricula available; please call or message to discuss suitability.

How can I help you?

The New Power Skill in Networking (Hint: It’s Not Talking)

In 2026, the most powerful networkers aren’t the best talkers.
They’re the best listeners.
Active listening has become a competitive advantage — because so few people actually do it.

Instead of waiting to pitch, high-level connectors:
 • Ask better questions
 • Listen for challenges, not just titles
 • Remember what matters to the other person

People don’t refer who you are.
They refer what they understand about you — and that only happens when trust is built through attention.

If you want better referrals this year, talk less.
Listen more.
Follow up intentionally.
That’s what makes someone referral-worthy.

👉 Want help building a network that listens, connects, and converts? DM me.
