Los líderes evolucionados y conectados son una fuerza positiva en el mundo.
I have been a coach, facilitator, thought-leading author, and keynote speaker in the field of peer forums, Collective Intelligence, and agility for more than 20 years since beginning my portfolio career. In my corporate career before that, I ran high-technology aerospace hardware, software, and systems integration businesses, ultimately heading the aerospace division of a British public company. I am originally English, now American, and have been in Southern California for 25 years. I love coaching and facilitating Collective Intelligence and agility in the C-suite.
I have been a career CFO/Financial Executive for Eastridge Workforce Solutions, Callaway Golf, and Marriott International, with a focus on strategic development and shareholder value. I love facilitating peer groups of CFOs/Financial Executives as a pillar of leadership underserved with true peer forum experiences. I was a member of a CFO Peer Forum for many years and found it to be incredibly valuable with both a tangible and intangible ROI in business, professionally, personally, and in life. I am passionate about providing that value for other CFOs/Financial Executives who quite likely have never experienced it before and how invaluable and irreplaceable it is.
