My Story
In 2018, I stepped away from my role as Global Vice President and General Manager at Otter Products’ Commercial Division, marking the start of a new chapter. For more than 30 years, my career centered around the commercial and retail technology sectors, where I provided products, solutions, and leadership that helped businesses grow and adapt.
Over that time, I held diverse roles—from operations to strategy to organizational leadership—guiding high-performance teams and developing individuals to reach their full potential. What I discovered through those years was a genuine passion for helping organizations and people overcome barriers and unlock their next level of success.
Eventually, I realized I needed to do the same for myself. The pursuit of balance between my professional ambitions and personal priorities led to the creation of Innovative Consulting & Coaching—a business rooted in intention, purpose, and values.
That decision brought alignment, fulfillment, and a renewed appreciation for being fully present with family and life outside of work. Today, I’m honored to help others achieve that same balance—personally, professionally, and organizationally.
About Innovative Consulting & Coaching
Innovative Consulting & Coaching was founded in 2019 with a clear mission:
to listen to each client’s unique needs, resolve urgent challenges, and implement strategies that help organizations grow to their next level of success.
My top five CliftonStrengths — Ideation, Strategic, Input, Activator, and Relator — shape how I work. I listen and learn first, then reverse-engineer, strategize, and activate solutions. But real change isn’t just about ideas—it’s about execution. That’s why I emphasize communication, implementation, and measurement to ensure every transformation is both effective and sustainable.
From working for my father as a teenager to leading initiatives for start-ups and Fortune 100 companies, I’ve relied on curiosity, collaboration, and learning from experience. I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way—and each one has shaped how I think, lead, and partner with others. To me, failure only exists if it doesn’t lead to growth.
After 30+ years in the corporate world—traveling weekly and spending countless hours in meetings—I realized I needed a reset. I wanted balance, meaningful work, and more time with my family. Leaving a secure role with great pay and benefits to build something of my own was daunting, but it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I leaned on my strengths, my network, and new “thinking partners” who helped me see fresh possibilities. That shift changed my life.
Today, I focus on helping business owners, leaders, and teams rethink challenges and opportunities. Together, we uncover new ways forward—whether through strategic planning, operational improvement, or leadership development. My clients benefit not only from my 30 years of experience across B2B, retail, and e-commerce, but also from a broad professional network and a practical, action-oriented mindset.
My commitment is simple:
to help you gain clarity, momentum, and measurable progress—whether or not we end up working together. If I can help you move forward, even one step, that’s success.
That’s what drives Innovative Consulting & Coaching.
