Why does a Scientist make an awesome Customer Obsessed Revenue Growth Leader? #TheLabMindset

I was literally trained to experiment. Be extremely curious. Test, Refine and iterate! 

Research like a boss and use system level thinking!

It builds resilience (failure = reiterative process to get the desired outcome).

Document like a boss - I was trained if it wasn't written in black ink it didn't happen. 

Data driven decision making. Look for patterns to determine the best "lever" to change.

Embrace Change - always looking for ways to improve productivity/efficiency which help me look at the end-to-end CX (hello, bowtie) and find ways to reduce cost to serve for sustained profitability. 

Process/Frameworks are critical - how else do you design an experiment? (for business =GTM- Revenue Architecture model)

Communication -lots of papers written and one of my ninja skills is simplifying the complex so anyone could understand!

Present my findings and get grilled - Objection & Rejection proofed because I proactively prepared and expected this to occur.

Pavilion, formally Revenue Collective, is a private membership organization for commercial growth operators. Our community is designed to support the professional development of revenue leaders at high growth companies, facilitate the sharing of best practices, and serve as a trusted private community.

This reminded me of something we forget too often: connection is a strategy.

I flew to Vegas for 🍽️ this week. 

Before you give me 😒, I wasn’t the only one. 

The Wednesday Women Dinner sponsored by Sendoso  was more than a networking event; it was a reminder that real growth happens in conversations where the masks come off.

Because when women gather with intention…

💜We show up fully.

Not the polished LinkedIn version but our real selves.

💜We strengthen our circles.

Reconnecting with women who challenge us, cheer for us, and remind us of who we are.

💜We talk about what’s really going on.

Not just pipeline or productivity.
But the season we’re navigating, the weight we’re carrying, the wins we’re proud of, and the things we’re still figuring out.

I left feeling grounded, inspired, and grateful.

If you’re looking for “what’s next” in your career or your life…

Start by showing up.

The right rooms will meet you halfway.

And the 7 course meal & wine pairing was out of this world but just an added bonus. IYKYK

Gratitude gets all the spotlight this week. 

But here’s a twist: I’m just as thankful for the grit as I am for the grace.

It’s easy to give thanks for what went right: the wins, the milestones, and the good calls.

But the moments that shaped me most this year? 

The ones that stretched my patience, tested my confidence, and forced me to refine the systems underneath.

Gratitude without grit is surface-level. 

Grit without gratitude is burnout.
 
Together, they build resilience, and the kind of leadership that lasts.
 
What challenge are you most grateful for this year ...the one that grew you the most?

AI is not allowed in the kitchen 🤣 and definitely no clones! 🤖 

Happy Thanksgiving y'all. 🦃

It's official thanks to Empressa AI.

I'm a certified Instructor in AI Foundations.

My proudest moment - facilitating a cohort and watching an attendee go from wondering if they were in the right room to being excited about the possibilities.

My legacy has always been focused on "transformation" - being the spark for others to see what's possible.

And this is just another way I get to make an impact.

January 23rd there will be another cohort. Sign up link in the comments.

#AIliteracy #leadership

I’ve been refining something behind the scenes in my 5-9.
 
It’s not a new title or product but a way the help everyone experiment, refine and iterate because progress over perfection!

In January, I’m launching The Refinery a monthly newsletter:

👉 one insight

👉 one system 

👉 one experiment the first Tuesday of each month

All to help you lead with clarity.

No noise. 

No inbox overload.

Just refined ideas that turn intention into motion.

If you want the first issue when it drops, join the early list (link in the comments). 

💥 Bonus--The "welcome e-mail" has a downloadable worksheet to help you reflect on 2025.

Celebrating the Small Wins

We talk a lot about the big wins in our careers. 

The headlines. 

The titles.

The trophies.

But the truth is, the big wins take time.

They're slow.

They're built through the quiet moments where no one is watching.

It's the small wins that actually fuel us.

The consistent effort. 

The uncomfortable growth.

The times you choose to show up with courage when it would be easier not too.

The little experiments that didn't seem like much until one of them changed everything.

This award is a reminder that none of its wasted. 

Every rep counts. 

Every refinement matters.

If you're working towards something that feels far away, keep going. 

Celebrate the small steps. 

They are not the prelude to the big win....they are the win!

And I'm grateful for every one of them.

Cheers to those small wins that transform us along the way.

What small win are you celebrating?

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all 🦃 🤠 

While life has a way of hitting back hard, and not everything on my 2025 bingo card is something I would have chosen for myself .....

I've always been a glass half-full and strong belief that things are happening for me (and yes, rejection is protection).

There are so many things that I'm thankful for and it starts with you and your support - 7K+ of you and counting.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

#gratitude #thankful #HappyThanksgiving

Sobremesa - my new favorite word

The plates are empty, the wine’s half gone, and no one’s reaching for their phone ....just ideas, laughter, and truth.

You know that moment, the one after the meal.

 The conversation deepens.

 The laughter softens.

 Time slows down.

 No one’s in a rush to leave because what’s happening around the table is rare: people being fully present.

These are the moments I live for.

 The ones where connection turns into collaboration.

 Where ideas start flowing, walls come down, and you leave feeling seen and inspired.

We chase big wins, big goals, big stages… but sometimes the most powerful spaces are the small ones.... where trust builds in real time.
If we could bottle that energy , curiosity, listening, genuine exchange, and bring it into our teams, our meetings, our lives...

Imagine what we could create.

When was the last time you stayed long after the meal because the conversation was just that good?

Shoutout to 🌎 Jacquelyn Nicholson and Krysten Conner for another memorable dinner in the books. Ladies, we need to remember to take pics.

Open the door! 🚪 

Most people say they’re waiting for the right opportunity.

But the truth?
Most people don’t even realize the door is already open.

We picture opportunity as this dramatic moment spotlights, trumpets, a clear sign pointing the way.

But in real life?

Opportunity usually looks like a cracked door you’re scared to push on.

I’ve walked through a few doors in my own life:

🔹 From clinical scientist to go-to-market leader
🔹 International moves
🔹 From “maybe someday” to actually building the life and career I wanted

None of these moments showed up as a grand entrance.

They showed up quietly disguised as a whisper, a nudge, a feeling that said: “Try. Just try.”

But here’s the provocative part:

Most people aren’t stuck because they lack opportunity.

They’re stuck because they’re unwilling to walk through uncomfortable doors.

Doors that require you to bet on yourself.

Doors that ask you to leave an outdated identity behind.

Doors that don’t guarantee applause on the other side.

Every transformation ,every reinvention,starts the same way:

You notice the door.

You get curious.

You take one step.

And then everything changes.

So here’s the real question for this season of your life:

👉 Are you actually open to the possibilities in front of you… or are you waiting for permission to walk through the door?

Because no one’s coming to open it for you.
You do that.

One step.
One choice.
One door at a time.

Excuse my crazy Saturday hair. 🤣 

Shoutout to Sendoso for my Winter Wellness Kit because self-care is NOT selfish.

This was such a nice touch that just keeps the Vegas Wednesday Women experience one of my November highlights.

This is your PSA to find the right community because there's nothing like great conversations and experiences to light you up!

December used to feel like the month you wind down.

Now?

It feels like the month I level up.

It’s my birthday month. 🏹 🎂 Don't judge - yes, I really celebrate me all month!

My reflection month. 🪞 

 My decision-making month. 🤔 

 My “step into your next version” month. 🚶‍♀️‍➡️ 

I’m not rushing.

 I’m not forcing.

 I’m simply choosing to grow intentionally, consistently, boldly.

This is my season. 🙌 

The one where I back myself fully, refine as I go, and build the life + work I actually want.

Let's face it work life balance is a MYTH. It's about priorities and I'm being even more intentional about my 5-9.

If you feel the shift too… welcome.

Lean in and buckle up because success is messy! (yep, another #randisueism)

Share what you're leaning into in the comments.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” 
-The Great One aka Wayne Gretzky 🏒 

I submitted an application to speak on the stage at TEDx Princeton.

I reached the first round (which I celebrate 🎉) and then didn’t get the final cut (which I own).

On the surface, a “no” feels like a rejection. 

But through the lens of the #labmindset where success is messy, testing/refining/iterating is built in this is simply data for the next cycle.

Here's what I’m affirming:

🙌 I said yes to the shot. That matters.

🔁 I’ll refine the pitch, the message, the delivery.

🔇 The stage I didn’t get today is not the only stage I’ll ever get.

🗣️ Missing this one doesn’t mean I’ll never speak. It means I’ll speak better.

Big ambitions carry messy processes. If everything were clean, we’d never grow. 

The mess signals: you’re doing something real.

If you’re in that “first round / almost / not yet” zone please keep shooting.
 
The truth is: the only guaranteed miss is the shot you never take.

What shot are you going to take (or retake) this week?

#GrowthMindset #RefinementLoop #Leadership #SpeakUp

😴🐾 when mom‘s up too early working on side hustle her coworkers are low energy 🤣

#sunday #earlystart

Lately I’ve been thinking about how intentional we are (or aren’t) about what’s next.

Not the 5-year “perfect plan” kind of next.

The honest next:
➡️ The next chapter
➡️ The next experiment
➡️ The next version of you

One of my favorite ways to get clear is revisiting Ikigai – I-K-I-G-A-I – that sweet spot where:

   •   What you love
   •   What you’re good at
   •   What the world needs
   •   What you can be paid for

all overlap.

Most of us don’t sit down and rethink this after our early career. 

We just keep going. Promotions. New titles. Bigger goals. Same autopilot.

But here’s what I know:
   •   It’s never too late to start something that feels more aligned.

   •   It’s never too late to try something completely new.

   •   And every journey is wildly, beautifully unique. There is no “behind.”

If you gave yourself permission to be really intentional about what’s next……
 not what’s expected, but what’s true for you ……
what would you explore?

👉 What’s the “something” you’re quietly thinking about that might be next?

Drop it in the comments or just write it down for yourself. Naming it is the first step to making it real.

#growthmindset #leadership

Eat the freaking cake.

For years, I let other people’s opinions live rent-free in my head.

“Should you really be eating that?”

“You’d look so much better if…”

“Wow, that’s… a bold outfit.” 

As women, it can feel like our bodies, our plates, our wardrobes and even our careers are open for public comment. 

All. The. Time.

Here’s where I’ve landed:

I’m done apologizing for existing.

I’m done “earning” treats.

I’m done shrinking myself to make other people comfortable.

If I want the dessert, I’m going to eat the freaking cake.

Not every moment of my life has to be optimized, tracked, or justified.

Because life is short.

Because joy is not a reward, it’s a requirement.

Because the people who matter don’t love me for the size of my jeans or the calories on my plate.

They value my impact, my heart, my brain, and my voice.

So here’s my nudge for you today:

   •   Wear the outfit you actually love.

   •   Order the dessert.

   •   Take up space in the room and at the table.

You don’t need permission to enjoy your own life.

🍰 What’s your version of “the cake” that you’ve been telling yourself you have to earn first?

The way companies build pipeline and drive revenue is changing. Go-To-Market Engineers and Revenue Architects are replacing bloated sales and marketing teams with lean, AI-powered revenue systems—and I help companies make that transition.

If your outbound isn't converting, deals are stalling, or GTM spend is wasted, I work with healthtech and enterprise B2B companies to build high-performance GTM systems that generate more revenue with fewer resources.

What We Solve:
Inefficient outbound and lead generation that isn’t driving revenue
Sales cycles that drag on too long and conversion rates that are too low
Messaging that doesn’t resonate with buyers and stalls pipeline growth
GTM motions that are stuck in traditional, headcount-heavy models

What We Build:
AI-Powered GTM Systems that automate and optimize revenue workflows
Precision Outbound Frameworks that surface high-intent buyers and increase meeting rates
Sales & Revenue Enablement Playbooks that shorten deal cycles and improve close rates
GTM Infrastructure that aligns sales, marketing, and customer success for long-term growth

Go-To-Market Engineers and Revenue Architects are reshaping how companies grow. If you’re looking to build a lean, scalable revenue engine, give me a shout!
