HKW – Honored to have spent 19+ years working with incredibly talented management teams, helping to prepare businesses for a sale process, and shepherding companies through to the exit. Currently shifting my focus to HKW’s ESG (environmental, social, governance) initiatives to transition my time to a new venture...
Craftsbury Consulting – Excited to be writing a new chapter doing what I love most: helping people craft their paths to a successful future by collaborating with company founders and their successors as they craft their path to a successful exit; as well as working with women on career development, thereby helping their firms in the important work of recruiting and retaining top female talent. I have successfully navigated the male-dominated world of PE and am passionate about helping other women excel in the world of finance.
