I am a Certified Professional Coach, Energy Leadership^TM Index Master Practitioner, business owner, leader and a long-time human resources professional (PHR). 

My passion is and has always been people and business.

Growing up in my parent’s diner in working-class Danvers, Mass., I developed a gift of engaging both customers and employees, making them feel welcome and valued. From a young age, I understood how this creates an exceptional business. Furthering my keen interest in human behavior, I earned a degree in psychology from the University of Vermont and after graduation, I began a career with one of the world’s largest retail companies, Jones Apparel Group, where over 22 years, I had leadership roles in sales, operations, training, development and human resources.

As Vice President of Human Resources, I was responsible for approximately 14,000 corporate and retail employees, with a personal goal of helping people from the C-suite to the loading dock and gradually shifting the culture of this huge company to a place where everyone felt respected and that their contributions were appreciated.

14,000 people, aligned, engaged, successful.

Moving to Yves Saint Laurent for the Americas in a lateral VP role, I built a people-centric culture throughout the region during a time of rapid growth. At the same time, I gained international work experience, creating bridges to our team members in our French home office and other countries of operations. My time there was challenging and rewarding, but I understood there was a different path for me to use my experience and insights on a different scale—this time, helping executives, business owners and individuals who want to optimize their work and personal lives. I enrolled in a certification program and rooted my personal philosophy in the transformative power of one-to-one work, which helped inform my coaching practice with a focus on individuals.

When Lovesac recruited me, I put my coaching practice on hiatus to work with a dynamic and progressive company that had just gone public. The energy and the intention were palatable—from the company’s guiding principles and values and leadership team to the incredible opportunity I could see to bring their culture to life. In my time as Senior Vice President of People and Culture, I created our People Strategy that put employees first, in a real culture of care, belonging, engagement and empowerment.

Our decisions and actions matched the promises we made to our people and as a result, our culture was often cited as second to none. The company’s measured engagement grew significantly and the business results during this time spoke for themselves. Lovesac represented a full circle for me, reminding me once again that taking care of your people and creating a culture of trust, inclusion and empowerment will always create exceptional results in business.

Now, I am thrilled to share Clarity 13, the culmination of my passion, experience and lifelong learning. Using a practical and intentional seven-step formula over 13 sessions, I help business owners, business leaders and CEOs create clear, positive, healthy and successful workplaces. My practice is called “Clarity” for the clear advantage it brings for your business, and I cannot wait to share it with all of you!
