I offer services at the intersection of leadership coaching, organizational change, and AI adoption — three fields that rarely converge in one person. That convergence is the work.
The path here
My path here has been unconventional. I earned my PhD from Vanderbilt University, then spent more than two decades at the intersection of leadership development, organizational change, and technology adoption — most recently leading AI adoption for business units of 3,000+ people at Infosys Consulting. Along the way I accumulated credentials not as badges, but because each one changed how I work.
Through Agility Transformation, LLC, I work with talented people who are ready to grow: C-suite executives finding their next level, high-potentials stepping into broader scope, executive teams and boards navigating complex transitions, and organizations navigating AI adoption who need their people to actually use it. Whatever the engagement, sustainable leadership is the north star — building resilience alongside capability, not as an afterthought. My coaching spans four continents and 75+ corporate cultures.
These four numbers aren't four separate facts — they're one causal chain. Change management structure (6×) is what converts the human-side investment (70%) into real adoption (3–4×) instead of the disruption 54% of C-suite leaders are currently living through.
I bring a systems thinking lens — trained through the Society for Organizational Learning and System Dynamics Think Tank — to help leaders see what's driving the patterns in their organizations, and where the real leverage is. Not the surface-level fix. The one that actually changes the system.
And I do this work because I've lived it. I know from the inside what it feels like when the system you've relied on comes apart and has to re-form — and I know that what carries a person through isn't a framework. It's relationship: being genuinely seen by someone while you find your new footing. That's what I offer the leaders I work with, and it's why they tell me they see things they couldn't see before.
Why the intersection matters
Most coaches develop leaders. Most consultants manage change. Most advisors know AI. I do all three — and that convergence is what makes transformation possible at scale.
How I work
My job is to help you see what you already know but can't quite access yet. I hold every client as the expert on their own life, organization, and path forward. That posture changes everything about what becomes possible in a coaching conversation.
I work from a systems thinking lens — because individual leaders don't operate in isolation. I look for leverage points: the places where a small, well-placed intervention creates disproportionate change. Every engagement culminates in your Leverage-Point Map — the 2–3 places where effort actually moves the needle, and why everything else you've tried hasn't. That's what makes transformation stick.
I pair deep personal insight with the operational discipline to make change real — stakeholder plans, structured rollouts, leader enablement, measurable outcomes. Vision and execution aren't opposites. They're both my job.
I build leadership resilience into every engagement — not as a wellness add-on, but as a performance strategy. The leaders who lead well over time aren't the ones who push hardest. They're the ones who know how to sustain. That's what I help develop.
