I bring an extensive breadth of experience from my background in communications.

​

For over a decade I successfully managed and coached teams that achieved significant success with both Fortune 100 as well as smaller-scale pitches at Carat Media US, the leading global media brand within dentsu.

 

Before then I managed clients and teams at both integrated and specialty services agencies, where I was constantly participating and leading new business and retention pitches. At Hill Holliday I worked on Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Liberty Mutual, CVS, and Dell. At Young and Rubicam I led the Sears account across creative, media, and PR functions, and at Wunderman Cato Johnson I worked on ATT Global Business Communication Services, American Express and Sears.

 

Now I successfully coach and manage presentation teams across a wide variety of pitches - including different industries, client scale and service offerings. I have acquired an innate sense of how to bring out the best in people - from CEOs and C-Suite executives to line-managers and supervisors - and I enable them to optimize their communication/presentation skills. 

​

I have named my practice after the legendary voyaguers of the Like the original voyageurs, a daring group of individuals who plied the waterways of the early northwest territories of North American in 16th and 17th century. Like the voyageurs, I embrace the love of hard work, the sense of adventure and a spirit of camaraderie.  I have adopted the motto of Move Forward, as it signals an enduring mindset of improving and achieving.

 

I bring these qualities to my work in improving communication and presenting skills of the people with whom I work. And I love to help them win.
