I am a serial entrepreneur, award-winning director/executive producer of documentary films and an award-winning author. But none of my previous successes taught me as much as my business venture that failed in 2024. I learned so much about fear, limiting beliefs, the impact of past traumas, and the power of reframing my own narrative so that I could fail forward. I want to share those and many other lessons with you so that you can manifest the highest level of success you are capable of achieving.
My background includes Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial experience in both for-profit and not-for-profit settings. I’ve successfully launched three ventures and I’ve previously served as President of a venture-backed health gamification start-up, CEO of a social venture that deployed diagnostic medical imaging technology in low-resource countries and I was a managing Director at a boutique private equity firm. I also ran a business accelerator for several years during which I coached more than150 entrepreneurs who were working to take their businesses to the next level.
Today, in addition to running my businesses, I’m also an adjunct faculty member in the Kellogg Executive Education program at Northwestern University where I lecture on risk management. I also serve on the boards of several for-profit and not-for-profit businesses.
My educational background includes an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a B.S. in Community Health from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
