Empowering Leaders.
Building Organizational Capacity.
Facilitating Transformation.
I help mission-driven leaders and organizations fulfill their potential — even in the most challenging conditions.
With over 20 years of experience leading international peacebuilding and justice organizations, designing award-winning leadership development programs for organizations like the United Nations, CDC, and GoFundMe, and teaching at Stanford, I provide innovative and proven solutions that:
Empower senior leaders to thrive in VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) conditions;
Elevate organizational decision-making and strategic planning;
Transform workplace culture; and
Clarify and crystallize organizational responses to change, conflict, and crisis.

I design and facilitate immersive, high-impact off-sites and retreats that align leadership teams and boards on vision, strategy, and values.
My approach is collaborative and impact-driven. In the weeks leading up to the event, we partner to clarify goals, design an optimal agenda and activities, and develop communications that set expectations and generate enthusiasm.
During the event, I either facilitate or serve as a thought partner and coach to the lead team member. Afterward, we debrief to identify key outcomes, learnings, and future opportunities.
About me
I spent 15 years at the intersection of peacebuilding and governance, leading multicultural organizations in complex global contexts and teaching at Stanford. Along the way, I discovered my passion: combining strategy, creativity, and empathy to develop the transformational leaders and organizations the world needs now.
Today, I help executive leadership teams and People & Culture leaders solve their most pressing organizational and leadership challenges. As a strategic thought partner, I design customized solutions that improve collaboration, culture, and performance—driving measurable results in dynamic, high-stakes environments.
I continue contributing to global peacebuilding efforts, advising international peace processes like the Syrian Women’s Advisory Board and the Libyan Mediator Network, while also facilitating leadership development programs for the UN and other global institutions.
A US Dept of State Fulbright Specialist and professor in the UN Masters in Humanitarian Action and Peacebuilding program, I combine over 20 years of experience with academic rigor and real-world expertise to help mission-driven leaders thrive. Let’s discuss how I can help your organization navigate complexity and achieve lasting success.
