How I Can Help You

I'm based in Southwest Washington. I started my career as a technical writer, business process analyst and project manager. I then co-founded and grew a software consulting company over the course of 25 years, divesting in 2023. We served utilities, local government and local large businesses by developing custom and productized software, facilitating enterprise software acquisition/implementation, and providing IT staffing. I managed sales and marketing and provided consulting services. We successfully weathered several economic downturns and adapted our offerings to accommodate the changing market.

My consulting, sales and management background helps me to be an active listener, collaborative problem-solver and strategist. I find fulfillment in team collaboration and mentoring. I believe strongly in ethical consulting and promoting professional, personal and organizational growth.

I look forward to helping you turn your vision into reality!
