Strategic Planning

I specialize in designing and implementing strategies that align with long-term organizational goals and drive fiscal year operational excellence. By making change tolerable I simplify complex challenges and ensure every decision supports the broader vision. Equally important, I excel at storytelling, helping every employee understand how their work connects to the bigger picture, fostering alignment and engagement.

My Strategic Planning Background

I bring over 12 years of experience in strategic planning, gained both during my time at Nike and through consulting with a variety of clients. Over the course of my career, I have honed my ability to challenge those around me to think innovatively while translating complex ideas into tangible, actionable strategies that deliver measurable results.

This success is driven by a refined operating model I’ve developed, which establishes a robust management system to ensure key results are achieved each fiscal year. These outcomes are carefully aligned with the broader long-term vision, while also incorporating a dynamic "check-and-adjust" process. This ensures the strategy remains adaptable, leveraging new information to confirm or recalibrate the trajectory of the long-term plan as needed.
