I'm passionate about supporting minority-owned and operated businesses in the Twin Cities, a much needed component to addressing the racial inequity that exists today. As a woman in Corporate America, I experienced the challenge of being in the minority. Having lived in Japan, I understand language barriers and trying to make sense of things you don't understand. I'd like to use my skills and experiences to help you successfully navigate starting, building and growing your business.
I became CEO months before the start of the 2008 recession. Leading through crisis is challenging and stressful! I'm happy to be a sounding board or talk through business concerns you have. With experience in finance, operations and strategic planning, I ask probing questions that can help you sort through competing demands while ensuring time to pull back and take a 10,000 foot view. I particularly enjoy leadership challenges, organizational development and complex problem solving. Much more a generalist than specialist, I have worked in so many arenas including industrial, healthcare and telecommunications industries; North America, Europe and Asia; developing, mature and turn-around stages of business. Please don't hesitate to call!
