BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
From opportunity to implementation
I work with executive teams to identify opportunities, develop partnerships, and bring new initiatives to life. My experience spans consumer businesses, technology, hospitality, and social impact.
I bring commercial judgment, relationship building, and practical execution to work that crosses teams and sectors. My experience includes partnering directly with CEOs, building an outbound sales function, supporting the launch of a foundation, and coordinating international pro bono advocacy.
My focus is understanding what each stakeholder needs, creating a shared case for action, and carrying the work through implementation.
