Catalyzing Leaders to Flourish and Do Big Good Fast

Intention

At the heart of my global journey is a driving question: How can all of us flourish, and accelerate a flourishing future for leaders, organizations, people, and planet?
I measure success not just by what the leaders I serve say, but by what their own leaders, boards, and partners say about their growth, influence, and impact.

Experience

My track record is grounded in real-world enterprise and sustainability leadership:

  • Enterprise Leadership: Led sustainability at business unit, global procurement, and global supply chain levels in large corporations,. Led procurement operations with a $1B P&L and closed a $1.5B acquisition as part of a corporate M&A team.

  • Collective Systems Change: Forged high-impact coalitions on deforestation with 60+ companies, building alignment among diverse stakeholders on four continents, from Fortune 500 boardrooms to field-level partnerships.

  • Stakeholder Alignment and Rapid Progress: Engaged senior leaders, C-suite, board, investor, customer, and industry partners at Nike, Mondelez, and Fairtrade to accelerate alignment, transform challenges into breakthrough opportunities, and convert vision into pragmatic, business-aligned action

  • People, Teams & Strategy: Unlock and elevate leaders, teams, and strategy through 1:1 coaching, team-building, and strategy facilitation with a proprietary toolkit grounded in 25+ years of capacity building, while remaining at the leading edge of knowledge, methodology, and technology.

This blend of enterprise mindset, systems thinking, and creative agility is at the core of illumine.earth’s strategic advisory and coaching.
