ABOUT
ABOUT ME
WHAT I'VE DONE
WHAT I DO
I am a lifelong Bostonian and proponent of using technology to make life easier. I have worked at companies ranging in size from 35 employees to 200k. I have a bachelors from Boston College in Marketing and Information Systems and an MBA focusing on technology and innovation. When people engage with me they are guaranteed to get a bit of dry humor and sarcasm mixed with a deep experience solving problems.
I have developed a strong consulting background focused in the tech industry, working with both established and fast growing organizations. My career decisions have always been infused with technology whether it was Sarbanes-Oxley auditing for Ernst & Young, developing an automated clearance center for Wayfair’s returned merchandise or changing the way tv ads are bought and sold.
I strongly believe in agile and lean methodology - and believe they don’t have to be scary words. I help organizations and leaders break down complex business problems and move towards tenable solutions. There is little value in bringing in a consultant if the solution isn’t both practical but also valuable to the organization. I consistently deliver both to my clients.
CLIENTS + EMPLOYERS
I have worked at companies ranging from 35 people to 300k. There is the opportunity to add value everywhere.
I'm attracted to problems, not industries. It all comes down to what is the driver and why.

South Shore Trails
Founded in 2015. South Shore Trails serves the region by consolidating the information and maps for public access trails and open space. The website and online community provide an unmatched experience for finding the right outdoor experience for individuals and families.
For each of the nearly 200 trails on the site, a user is able to see the terrain accessibility rating and know what to expect in advance. South Shore Trails is currently the only consolidated resource of ADA trails in the region.
South Shore Wellness Collective
Founded in 2016. South Shore Wellness Collective was born out of the overwhelming support for South Shore Trails. Yoga and other wellness professionals are challenged to expose their personality and specialized workshops to a broader community.
The Collective removes these barriers by creating a platform that easily consolidates events and studio updates in a way that is accessible to a much larger community.
