“The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.”

An SMU MBA and Harvard Business School graduate with over 40 years of energy industry expertise, I've led multinational organizations for over three decades, successfully navigating transitions from traditional energy to innovative sectors like renewables and cryptocurrency banking. As a C-Suite executive in oil and gas, renewables, technology, and energy services, I've specialized in transformational leadership, corporate turnarounds, startups, and building high-performing teams across public and private companies.

My leadership journey—from field operations to executive management—has given me unique insights into organizational change and personal development. This experience, combined with my mindfulness practice and commitment to lifelong learning, informs my coaching approach. I focus on helping leaders navigate complex transitions, manage organizational and personal change, and build strong intergenerational relationships.

As an energy industry thought leader, I've contributed to NBC News, authored "Disaster on the Horizon" about the Deepwater horizon Disaster, and appeared on international news networks as an energy expert. My board service spans public companies, private enterprises, and foundations in the energy sector and beyond, enriching my perspective on effective leadership and organizational dynamics.

My deepest passion and late-career mission lies in helping others become better humans first, and therefore more effective leaders. I draw on my extensive experience in building teams and navigating complex transitions to help individuals realize their full potential—both personally and professionally. Through coaching, I guide leaders to embrace their own growth journey, fostering deeper self-awareness and authentic leadership that creates lasting positive impact in their organizations and communities.
