I have advised leaders and boards for over 20 years on talent, succession, business performance and brand narrative.

I’m a lifelong experimenter. I thrive on change but ironically have spent the better part of my career in one of the most staid and traditional arenas – executive search. Early in my career I gained invaluable foundational experience working for leading international search firms where I conducted executive level searches for some of the biggest brands in North America in Technology, Life Sciences, Consulting, CPG and Financial Services. More recently clients have included multi-nationals, accelerators and incubators, funding agencies, regulators and start-ups in Life Sciences and Cleantech.

Beyond the sheer variety, what’s kept things interesting for me for nearly 30 years has been the ability to shake things up every so often, introducing the ‘in-house’ model to one of Deloitte’s national practice groups; provided talent management to high-potential business professionals from top consulting firms and marquee companies and rolling out Six Sigma recruiting practices for CIBC. And, more than a decade ago, I recognized that Cleantech would be a thing and launched a practice around it and subsequently my own firm. I consider the broader innovation ecosystem my sweet spot and love learning from everyone I meet.

At the outset of Covid I co-founded LM² Collective knowing that companies would be confronted with almost constant change requiring continued adaptation. ​Our start-up office during Covid wasn't a garage but an underpass emblazoned with bold graffiti murals.​  Graffiti jived with our philosophy and approach to management consulting – solutions need to be adaptable, agile and sometimes unorthodox. We appreciated methodologies but were never slavish to them.  At our core we were more facilitators rather than fixers; we listened, kicked things around and made things happen. We helped leaders and their organizations take part in their future by helping them lay the foundation for accelerated growth and organizational transformation.

Now it’s time to switch things up again. Having advised leaders and boards for over 20 years on talent, succession, business performance and brand narrative, my real passion and strength has always been connecting one to one with leaders. Being able to truly understand what’s getting in the way of success, getting to grips with the human factors and tackling disruption head-on is in my mind a game changer.
