Hi. I'm Ann.
I’m a strategic advisor with 20+ years of experience helping thoughtful leaders navigate complexity and lead real change. I work with higher ed and mission-driven teams to bring clarity, alignment, and momentum to their most important work. My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in what makes each organization unique.
Let’s turn big ideas into steady, meaningful progress.
My Focus
I partner with leaders to turn big-picture goals into real, workable strategies—without losing sight of what makes your organization unique. Together, we:
-
Build strategic plans that reflect your values and move your mission forward.
-
Untangle operational challenges and bring people, processes, and priorities into better alignment.
-
Lead honest, productive conversations that build trust and momentum across teams.
-
Break down silos so leadership can collaborate more effectively—and actually enjoy it.
My Approach
I understand that large institutions—especially academic ones—often have deeply rooted traditions and cultures. I work with respect for those realities, helping teams engage in open, honest dialogue to find practical paths forward. My approach combines systems thinking with clear, transparent communication to translate big ideas into actionable plans.
I believe change doesn’t have to be disruptive to be meaningful. By identifying manageable steps and celebrating incremental wins, I help organizations build momentum that lasts.
Let's Connect
