Based in Vancouver, Washington | Working Remotely | Partners closely with Caleb Steinborn
Summary
A servant-leader, lifelong learner, and one who is passionate about engaging teams to deliver high value business outcomes.
Those whom I work with refer to me as a trusted thought partner and the adhesive that holds their team or group together. I love integrity, lean, agile, transparency and small team creative problem solving. I find myself as the one guiding cross functional teams through change, providing optimism and stability as the road gets hard and long.
Providing calm stability in the midst of chaos
