I've built companies from solo-practitioners to thriving small businesses. I’ve coached dozens of people to become the best versions of themselves—I thrive on watching people grow into the leaders I know they can be. I’m masterful at rallying a team behind a shared vision, leading ambitious projects, and getting things done—without drama, just happy, confident teams. I’m direct, to the point, empathetic, and kind. I believe in taking imperfect action, genuine collaboration, and pushing boundaries to make extraordinary things happen. 🌍 Who I Work With: Impact-driven organizations, bold small businesses, and leaders who dream big but need a strategic partner to make it happen. 📌 What I’m Open To: Fractional Chief Operating Officer, Chief of Staff, and Strategic Project Leader opportunities, in remote-work organizations that value impact, collaboration, and innovation. Also considering full-time roles with the right organization. About me: 🇫🇷 My first day in France was the day I moved here. 📚 I’m a voracious fiction reader reading upwards of 40 fiction books a year (ask me for recs!) 🎙️ I consume an unhealthy amount of political podcasts and no I won't stop. 🍴 Food is my love language—cooking, eating, and talking about it endlessly. 💻 LinkedIn is the only social media I use (seriously). 😄 Also, I’m fun, I swear!
