Strategic
I am one of two partners who founded Industrial Wisdom in 2001 and I am the CEO and Managing Partner for the firm. While driving business, sales and profitability, I am an expert in complex organizational and operational development. I am most comfortable at the intersection of strategy and operations.
I can bring together technology, people, and processes into practical, working solutions. I see both the forest and the trees of complex business projects simultaneously. This comes from 20 years of executive management and multi-million dollar software project management experience.

Throughout my career, I’ve been responsible for methodology development, establishing goals, incentives, and forecasts and implementing best practices strategies for customers in multiple high profile market areas. This broad range of experience has made me a trusted advisor to many of our clients. I understand the full scope of challenges (economic, political, cultural, and technical) involved in any project and devise realistic roadmaps to successful outcomes.
At Industrial Wisdom (IW), I have been responsible for developing the user experience design methodology that is a cornerstone of our team’s success. I have successfully managed the company’s evolution from a User Experience Design firm into a broader Product Strategy firm.
In the early days of IW, I was responsible for organizational development activities for Qwest’s eCommerce operations – taking them from zero to $103,000,000 in revenue over a 4 year period. She I not only oversaw, but actively orchestrated the growth of the team from six to over 30 employees, not including management of the IT relationship and the agencies.

When I’m not cheering for my daughter from the sidelines of a soccer match, I enjoy downhill skiing and hiking at home in Colorado. I am a volunteer with Denver East High School’s A+ Angels Mentor Program and am also an avid gardener and home cook.
