Where I Work

Bicoastal Practice with Nationwide Reach

I work with CEOs, executive directors, and senior leadership teams across the country, from Alaska Native Corporations and state and federal agencies to universities and national laboratories. The work is rarely bound by geography, because the challenges I'm brought in to navigate aren't either. Strategy that treats an organization as a living system – not a machine – travels well. The questions are the same in Anchorage as they are in Atlanta.

My practice is anchored in two places, Alaska and Florida, but the reach is national, and intentionally so.

Two Home Bases, One Practice

I split my time between Anchorage, Alaska and the Tampa, Florida area. Both are home, and both are places I work directly with clients. But neither defines the boundary of the practice. A bicoastal base simply means I'm well-positioned to work across time zones and travel efficiently to wherever an engagement takes me.

If you're in or near either region, you'll find dedicated pages for that work:

Wherever you are, the work is the same: rigorous strategic design, leadership alignment, and the ongoing discipline to keep strategy moving once the planning is done.

Invest in the Work, Not the Travel

When I was an executive, I hated getting nickel-and-dimed by consultants – the line items, the travel surcharges, the sense that the meter was always running. So I don't do it.

My engagements are all-inclusive and fixed-priced for the scope of the work, travel included. My clients get the same value whether I drive thirty minutes or fly three thousand miles. The price reflects the work, not the logistics of getting me there.

That's a deliberate choice, and a practical one too. Charging for travel quietly narrows a practice to whoever happens to be nearby, and that's never been how I want to choose the leaders and organizations I work with. So I built the practice to make geography a non-issue. When the right engagement is across the country, the question I'm asking is whether I'm the right fit for the challenge, not whether the travel pencils out.

How a National Practice Actually Works

Modern strategic work doesn't require sitting across a conference table for every conversation. The organizations I serve are often navigating significant change: a leadership transition, a growth inflection, a strategy that looks right on paper but won't gain traction. That work unfolds over months, through a rhythm of focused sessions and steady, ongoing thinking.

I'm there when you need me, on the phone, over video, or in person. Where being in the room genuinely adds something, I'm in the room. The rest of the time, the work moves just as well remotely.

What stays constant, wherever you are: you work directly with me. Not a junior associate, not a rotating project team. The same depth of experience and the same standard of rigor, whether you're down the road in Anchorage or across the country. You're getting a partner who's willing to roll up her sleeves and work alongside you.

The best strategic work starts with an honest conversation about what isn't working. If your strategy has stalled, wherever you're located, that's the place to begin.
