Counsel Shaped by Experience.
Strategic perspective informed by more than three decades of leadership in brand strategy, public policy, regulated industries, and civic life.
I work with leaders, founders, and institutions facing moments of complexity or transition — when decisions carry public, organizational, or long-term consequence. My approach is grounded in experience: building and stewarding a founder-owned enterprise for more than thirty years., navigating public trust, and serving in governance and diplomatic roles.
This site reflects both my professional work and the broader context in which I live and think.
Counsel.
Consulting for organizations, Founders and individuals in career transition.
I’ve spent more than three decades building and leading a founder-owned firm working at the intersection of business, public trust, and policy. I now work selectively with leaders and institutions at moments of complexity or transition.
Food and Entertaining.
Feeding each other nourishes more than the belly. It’s part of what makes us who we are.
Travel Reflections.
When we eat the food, dance the dances, and sing the songs of those from away, we learn that we are not alone.
I strive to live as she did: graciously and generously with a smile, a wink and a loving embrace.
For my mother, Marian
