Empowering Teams through servant Leadership

I’ve project managed everything from replacement ERP systems to an augmented reality toy elephant mobile app.

My management style is based on servant leadership, proactive stewardship, psychological safety, and empowering teams to be their authentic selves.

  • You need a project executed. Great! Let's work together to determine why it's needed, what it means if it doesn't happen, define the value proposition, and baseline its scope.

  • Whether quantitative (Google Analytics) or qualitative (customer interviews, surveys, informational campaigns), count on me to focus on how we'll measure success

  • Executive Summaries for the c-suite? Product Requirements Docs (PRDs)? Stakeholder maps and registers? Risk register, issue log, assumption log?

    When I lead projects, there's no need to worry about where things stand.

  • I've led design sprints, built prototypes, and refined many a wireframe. I'll ensure we're all driving towards the same goal by building consensus up front and focusing on the end user experience.
