Background
I have decades of experience in leadership roles across a wide range of industries. My career began in the staffing industry and later transitioned into healthcare, where I honed my skills in a demanding, patient-focused environment. I have spent the majority of my career in the high-tech industry, where I grew my skills in leadership and consultancy on a global level. I invested years of my career gaining expertise as a customer success manager for international brands like WebEx and Cisco Systems.

Then I moved to Coremetrics where I learned the finer points of consultative selling. When they were bought by IBM, I found myself working with many of their large international accounts.

Fujitsu Japan was my next opportunity, where I was a global-level project manager/program manager. All of these opportunities have led me to where I am today, with the goal of using my decades of experience to help make a difference in my community.

What we love about Concord-Walnut Creek 
I love the East Bay area. People here are friendly and outgoing. There are a variety of people here from all across the world. This area is beautiful. It offers mountains, hiking trails, and endless food options. There is something for everyone here!
