Chief Evangelist, Community Strategist, Co-Founder of Wednesday Women, Startup Advisor, Ex-Stay-At-Home Mom

I'm the Co-Founder of Wednesday Women and the Founder of Chief Evangelist Consulting: two ventures grounded in a core belief: community isn’t a tactic, it’s a force.

Wednesday Women began as a ripple in 2023 as a small, intentional effort to elevate executive women. We amplify women’s voices on LinkedIn, on stages, on podcasts, not as polished personas, but as their real, remarkable selves (the woman behind the title). Our public platform is for everyone, and we’ve built a private membership for executive women who want to go deeper with that mission and create connections both help unlock challenges but also are their biggest cheerleaders. 

Through Chief Evangelist Consulting, I help companies design community strategies that create lasting engagement. With 20+ years in customer-facing leadership roles, I approach community as a strategic lever, rooted in trust, value, and connection.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of evangelism, authenticity, and shared momentum.

And yes — I run on coffee, dark chocolate, trying (and failing) to keep me very vocal dog in check and talking loudly about diversity in tech.

Ambassador

Advocating for Pavilion’s mission of helping every leader and their team achieve their professional potential through community-powered learning. I will be supporting key initiatives, developing and teaching curriculum for Pavilion University and providing over 10,000 members with leadership advice. Join us at joinpavilion.com.

I’ve been seeing a trend….
more women walking away from corporate life to go fractional, consult, or build their own thing.

And I get it.
I did too.

At some point, I realized I’m “consciously unemployable”. 

That’s a choice. 

Not because I can’t play the corporate game (well actually if you know me, I can’t 🤣), but because I finally saw how much of it was built on rules that were never written for us. And I was done building others’ dreams.  

As Sarah Allen-Short wrote,  

“Liberal feminism didn’t ruin the workplace. It exposed it.”
(If you read the NYT article, you’ll get the reference.)

What we’re watching isn’t women giving up. It’s women waking up.

“Lean In” taught women to play the old game. This era’s about building a new one.

When you realize the system was never designed for you, you start creating something better.

Andrea 🤓 Lechner-Becker and Raja Walia arguing just made my morning!  

That’s all, that’s the post. 💜 

And yes, Erin Kasmarick is still the HubSpot wizard 🧙‍♀️! We 💜💜💜💜her.

AI can’t invent weird. It can’t really do different. This is still where humans have the competitive advantage 

Think about Apple’s “1984” ad.
Or, Coinbase’s random bouncing QR code.

No robot’s out here dreaming those up. 

Those ideas hit because they were so human. Unexpected. Odd.
The kind of weird that makes you stop scrolling and go, “Wait, what?”

That’s what AI can’t fake.

It can totally take your ideas and scale them. But if what you feed it is already kinda basic… it’s just going to spit out more basic.

What’s that mean for us humans? Creativity actually matters more now. Because AI’s like this giant volume knob. Whatever you give it, it just cranks it up.

Bottom line: The magic happens when a human is brave enough to think weird.

We unpack this (and a few more “AI vs. human creativity” hot takes) in the full episode.

I help tech sales leaders and AEs reduce overwhelm and sell more by focusing on what matters 💫 | Executive Leadership Coach | ex-Salesforce, VP Enterprise Sales | ex-Google | Community Builder

Executive Coach | Sales Performance Coach | Workshop Facilitator | Speaker

I help leaders, teams, and individuals contributors go from surviving to thriving by focusing on what matters and taking intentional action.  The end result is a sustainable work environment, one where everyone can exceed their full potential.

Are you a top performer in tech who’s...
🔵 a seasoned leader or leader-to-be
🔵 a new 1st, 2nd, or 3rd+ line leader
🔵 a top performing seller
🔵 ready for a career transition
🔵 eager to progress your career forward

Are you...
✔ Falling into a rut.  You’ve hit a plateau or lost your mojo. 
✔ In a role or career that once inspired you, but are now feeling stuck or stagnant.
✔ Feeling complacency setting in.  Inspiration and drive are no longer propelling you forward.
✔ On the fast track to burnout with no end in sight.  Anxiety and overwhelm have become your new best friends.
✔ Feeling like a fish out of water in a new role.  That old way of doing things isn’t working and you’re having trouble keeping up.

If any of the above sound familiar, I can help:
⚡ Achieve greater fulfillment, clarity, and results, with an action plan to get there.
⚡ Create sustainable success by recognizing the signs of burnout and co-creating a tailored path forward.
⚡ Become more self-aware of what’s serving you and what’s holding you back.
⚡ Develop the skills to change long-standing habits that no longer serve you.
⚡ Learn to embrace fear (e.g., fear of failure, change, and more) and make it your ally.
⚡ Accountability to support you in pursuing your goals.
⚡ Feel like you belong.  You're not alone.  We’ve got this!

After 20+ years of experience as a top performer in tech at companies such as Salesforce and Google, I know what it takes to succeed.  As an enterprise sales leader, I have worked with dozens of fortune 500 companies, including Disney, Sony, Gap Inc., Experian, CBRE, and more.  My consultative and human-centered sales approach has led to several strategic advisor relationships with C-level and EVP/SVP executives. I have a consistent track record of exceeding individual and team sales targets, including being named Salesforce’s Strategic Retail AE of the year in 2018.  My personal mission - to make the modern workplace a human place where people grow, learn, and thrive together!
