Your Systemic Edge
Fifteen years ago, I had to learn how to walk again. That experience changed how I understand behavior, action and growth under extreme pressure. Today, I use that perspective to help leading organizations improve how their people and systems work. I focus on helping leaders and teams in high-stakes situations build a stronger process that keeps them steady and productive.
My career shifted after I spent time as a journalist covering Major League Baseball for NPR. I saw that lack of skill or experience isn’t usually the issue with talented people. The real problem is the setup that’s slowing them down. Working closely with teams helped me understand how complex, uncertain, and risky leadership decisions can be.
As the founder of How We Won, I work as a strategic partner to top talent and teams. I help organizations find where they are losing value in leadership and fix it by improving how their people communicate and work together.
I’ve led over 5,000 sessions with employees at major companies like Google, American Express, and Warner Bros. Discovery. I’m a certified master-level executive coach. I continue to advise exceptional leaders and rising talent. I believe how leaders show up is the biggest factor in an organization’s success. My goal is to help them stop trying to do everything themselves and instead build a base where their teams can run and improve on their own.
