Development Strategist 

Traversing the peaks and valleys
of business can be a lot.

I work with  businesses that are motivated by earnest calls to sustainability and need the right person to ferry them through growth and development phases as they build capacity. I specialize in providing the food and beverage sectors support through some of the most challenging aspects and terrains of business topography. I am an experienced executive coach and contractor providing support in multiple aspects of business. I work hourly and by retainer to support clients right where they are in the journey.

About Me 

I am driven by a profound curiosity about how nature shapes relationships within business functions and systems. With decades of experience in natural grocery retail management, distribution and food brokering, I have cultivated a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of the West Coast food ecosystem. In 2013, I embraced consulting as companies in my incubator kitchen sought expertise in sales strategies. My diverse background includes working with regenerative farmers, brewers, and various craft makers, all while advocating for food sovereignty, economic and social justice in the West and Intermountain sales regions. My work is grounded in a post competitive, open source collaborative futures and I enjoy solving to complexities.
