Great leadership isn’t about doing more, it’s about empowering others to reach their full potential. 

That’s the foundation of The 1% Push, my signature keynote and coaching philosophy that helps leaders build high-performing teams, drive accountability, and create cultures of excellence, one small push at a time.

As a former professional athlete, Fortune 500 senior leader, published author, and entrepreneur, I’ve spent my career leading, coaching, and inspiring teams across industries and global markets. I understand what it takes to turn talent into results, foster people-first leadership, and balance accountability with empowerment to fuel success.

Why Work With Me?
✅ Proven Leadership Experience. Fortune 500 executive, entrepreneur & former pro athlete.
✅ People-First & Performance-Driven. Helping leaders build teams that thrive.
✅ Real-World Strategies, Not Just Theory. Actionable insights that drive results.

My leadership approach is rooted in Empathetic Accountability and what I call Maverick Leadership—balancing emotional intelligence, clear standards, and the willingness to challenge legacy thinking when it no longer serves the business or the team. I’m known for:

I’m based in Southwest Florida and open to OC-1 / SVP / VP-level Client Success, Global Services, or Chief Customer roles that are remote or located in Florida, Georgia, or Texas.
