My Story
From Scaling Fast to Slowing Down — On Purpose
I started my career at Compaq when it was still a startup. Fifteen years later, we were Fortune 20. I held executive roles, led national initiatives, launched systems from scratch, managed a $150M P&L, and built teams that made the impossible happen. I thrived in high-stakes environments and earned my seat at the table. I didn’t just survive in the corporate world — I helped build it.
After 15 years, I traded the title for freedom.
I built a solo advisory practice from scratch, replacing my salary in nine months. Over the last 25 years, I’ve quietly advised more than 100 business owners to grow, scale, and sometimes exit — all without building a public-facing brand.
Until now.
At 51, a one-week-old newborn was placed in my arms — and everything shifted.
I stepped away from location-dependent consulting. I simplified. I prioritized presence. I chose slower mornings and long walks over boardroom flights. I kept my best clients, took only high-impact projects, and worked with people I truly respected.
Within the last five years, I made an even sharper pivot:
- A 20-hour workweek, 9 months a year
- A streamlined business with a handful of offers
- A life designed around meaning, not meetings
Now, for the first time, I’m sharing this model more openly to show more women what’s possible.
You can lead without carrying it all.
You can work with clarity, not chaos.
You can design a second half that fits who you are now — not the version you built for someone else.
This isn’t about reinvention.
It’s about refinement.
It’s about trusting that the experience you’ve earned is more than enough — and finally enjoying the hell out of it.
Ciao for now,
