Career Highlights

In 2024 I left Harvard University to focus on independent coaching and consulting with leaders of mission-driven organizations.

From 2016 to 2024, I worked in Harvard University’s Center for Workplace Development as an internal executive coach and consultant. At Harvard, I partnered with academic and administrative leaders seeking to foster the same learning mindset that yields extraordinary results in the university’s classrooms and labs.

In the years prior to working at Harvard, I completed my ICF coaching certification through the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and joined other Society for Organizational Learning members as a partner in Coaching from a Systems Perspective, LLC. With most of our clients in higher education, I developed an in-depth appreciation for the challenges of large, complex academic institutions. I simultaneously affiliated with Crystal Clear Consulting to support leaders in higher education. And through these two groups, I worked with dozens of universities and colleges confronting the pressures of disruptive change.

From 2005 to 2010 I led marketing and communications for Pegasus Communications, producing resources to help leaders operationalize a systems thinking management philosophy. At Pegasus, I gained proficiency in designing context-sensitive approaches for the range of industries represented by our customers—from multi-national corporations to government agencies and NGO’s, to education, healthcare, and philanthropic organizations.

Before Pegasus, at Peter Senge’s Society for Organizational Learning (SoL), I created structures and facilitated processes that connected a globally distributed learning community. This lively network of practitioners, researchers and consultants strengthened my understanding of—and my ability to foster—the link between organizational learning and organizational transformation.

Partnering with Deborah and Alan Slobodnik in their consultancy, Options for Change, I learned to apply tools and models from family therapy and systems thinking to help clients break through change management challenges.

My formal education in art, art history, and arts management led to early roles in museum and gallery programming. I gradually adopted a more general focus on organizational effectiveness and leadership. As I’ve expanded my toolkit for generating organizational improvements, I continue to value the importance of creativity as a driver of success.
