Board & Advisory

I serve in board and advisory roles with companies in healthcare services, commercial real estate, and regulated industries—particularly those navigating scaling, post-acquisition integration, or strategic transitions. I am especially drawn to organizations where operational discipline and human-centered leadership can be leveraged together to create durable value. I bring expertise in capital allocation, risk oversight, regulatory compliance, talent systems, and building high-performing cultures that drive both strong financial results and meaningful impact.

As a generalist with deep experience across healthcare, retail, and real estate, and as a digitally native board member who bridges generational perspectives, I help leadership teams connect dots across functions and sectors. My approach is rooted in the belief that rigorous financial stewardship and authentic, people-first cultures are not trade-offs—they are the foundation of lasting success.
