Private Advisor to Senior Leaders at Decision Thresholds

what i do
I am an executive advisor who works with founders and senior leaders at moments when decisions carry real consequence—when leadership transition, growth, or structural change will shape what endures.
My work is informed by The Daisy Framework™, a sensemaking and maturity lens I developed that supports sound judgment in complex, transitional contexts. It’s not a fixed method or prescribed pathway, but a way of seeing—supporting leaders as they notice what’s emerging, strengthen what matters, and decide what is actually required next.
Clients come with different needs. Some face a specific decision or inflection point. Others sense that something is shifting and want help making sense of it before acting. In every case, the work is grounded in deep listening, clarity of thought, and a bias toward coherence—so what is decided can be lived with, not just implemented.
If you’re navigating a consequential moment and want a place to think clearly before committing to a course of action, we can begin with a conversation.
how i work
My work is one-to-one, confidential, and centered on judgment rather than execution. I’m not brought in to provide answers or implement solutions, but to offer a place where senior leaders can think clearly about sequencing, authority, and decision risk before commitments are made.
This is not coaching, facilitation, or organizational development. I don’t work with teams or design processes for groups. The work is reflective and dialogic, grounded in the real constraints leaders are already carrying, and often includes teaching that sharpens judgment and widens perspective.
Engagements are typically retainer-based and unfold over time.
About Me
I work as an advisor to senior leaders navigating complexity, transition, and growth—particularly at moments when decisions carry lasting consequence. My approach blends systems thinking, adult development, and a grounded, relational stance to help clients clarify where they are and what is actually required next.
Earlier in my career, I co-founded and led (for over 19 years) a multi-million-dollar, multi-city enterprise. Since then, I’ve served as a strategic advisor and fractional leader to mission-driven organizations, staying close enough to live with the consequences of decisions rather than offering short-term recommendations from a distance.
I’m also the creator of The Daisy Framework™, a proprietary sensemaking and maturity model used across individual, organizational, and community contexts. My work is shaped by advanced training in organizational development and leadership, and by long-term involvement in complex systems undergoing real change.
