Experience That Informs Perspective
Join me on a journey shaped by curiosity, investigation, and a deep commitment to people — from my early career as a private investigator to my work today as a trusted talent partner in the Private Equity space. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked closely with senior leaders, investors, and organizations to identify, assess, and connect exceptional executive talent with opportunities that truly transform businesses. Along the way, I’ve gained a front-row view into what drives successful leadership decisions — and just as importantly, the common mistakes that can quietly undermine even the strongest teams.
This blog is my space to share those hard-earned insights. It’s designed for executive job seekers who want to rise above the noise, position themselves strategically, and navigate career transitions with intention and confidence. It’s also a resource for talent professionals and organizational leaders who are responsible for building high-performing, future-ready teams. Here, I’ll share practical guidance, real-world observations, and best practices drawn from decades of experience at the intersection of leadership, hiring, and long-term career strategy.
Here’s to building meaningful careers, stronger organizations, and leadership teams that truly make a difference — together.
