About
About Me

Recognizing the gap between strategic visions and their practical implementation, I founded Digital By Design. With a mission to empower transformational leadership, I provide strategic guidance, foster innovation, and nurture exceptional leadership. Through my consultancy, overwhelmed leaders find support and practical pathways to achieve extraordinary results.

As a strategist and project management expert, I bring over 15 years of progressive experience to my clients, ranging from Fortune 100 giants to dynamic, rapidly scaling midsize businesses. To help executives facing substantial business challenges, I offer everything from facilitated visioning sessions to detailed project implementations. During my career, I have led transformational vision and implementation for global enterprises generating up to $50 billion in yearly revenue. Not just a planner, I actively participate in delivering the plan, rolling up my sleeves to work on transformation programs with budgets up to $50 million. These initiatives have created and scaled dynamic solutions, impacting global operations and delighting customers.

My passion to amplify impact and elevate others extends beyond consulting; I mentor women in technology, share insights as a blog author, and engage with aspiring professionals as guest lecturer at institutions like UC Irvine and NYU.
