About Me

Where Strategy Meets Stillness. Where Leadership Meets Life.

I couldn’t have designed a more intense or expansive life if I tried. Over the past 25+ years, I’ve lived and led at the intersection of high-stakes strategy and deep personal transformation. From advising global leaders and building cross-sector initiatives, to practicing & studying yogic sciences—I’ve learned that true leadership requires both outer clarity and inner calm.  


 

Balancing Strategy with Serenity -  A Life in Full Flow

My career spans executive leadership, social innovation, international development, and systems change—work that has taken me across continents, conflict zones, boardrooms, and policy tables. I’ve served as CEO, Chief Strategy Officer, and Executive Director. 

View the full scope of my work on LinkedIn. But what you won’t see on LinkedIn is what reshaped everything.

I took a radical detour from the hustle and spent years immersed in the yogic and meditative sciences. Living simply, studying deeply, and committing to inner mastery, I uncovered core truths that drive my work today:

Sustainable leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more aligned.

 

The Integration -  Mindful Strategy & Embodied Leadership

As a certified practitioner of yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness, I now bring a powerful blend of systems thinking, somatic intelligence, and strategic execution to individuals and teams who are ready for more than just success—they’re ready for wholeness.

I help leaders: 

  • Lead with authenticity, clarity, and presence
  • Prevent burnout while sustaining high performance
  • Cultivate a grounded sense of purpose amid complexity
  • Integrate well-being into how they work, lead, and live
     

My Values & Mission

  • To build a world where leaders don’t burn out, they light up.
  • To help people live and lead from their whole selves.
  • To restore balance to the way we work, grow, and serve.
