Navigating organizational success

With over 15 years of experience in operations management and key roles in corporate strategy and in-house facilitation, I know that the key to success lies in effective leadership and fostering collaboration.As your Fractional Chief of Staff, I work alongside your executive team, providing high-level strategy and leadership to ensure your goals are met. I’ll help optimize your operations, streamline processes, and create an environment of collaboration that drives growth—without the need for a full-time staff member.In addition to strategic leadership, I’m a skilled facilitator who thrives in guiding organizations through challenging conversations. Whether it’s leading difficult discussions, aligning teams, or helping you navigate change, I create collaborative spaces that allow for open dialogue and actionable solutions that stick. I've developed my experience in corporate America, leading very focused facilitated sessions.The Canoe Collaboration Difference
At Canoe Collaboration, I bring a unique blend of strategic leadership and facilitation expertise to help your business achieve sustainable success. My ability to connect people, ideas, and solutions, combined with my deep understanding of what makes organizations work (and what doesn't), will help move your business upstream.
