Facing History and Ourselves

Research Consultant

I’ve spent more than two decades working on issues central to sustainable business, organizational development, and learning cultures. 

As a consultant for Fortune 500 companies in sectors ranging from agribusiness to pharma to retail, as well as for leading nonprofits and educational institutions, I’m described by clients and colleagues as a trusted strategist, a gifted communications professional, and a master trainer. Throughout my career, I’ve helped clients clarify their purpose, give language to their goals, and cut through unnecessary roadblocks and fuzzy thinking. I excel at distilling insights from academic disciplines and making them relevant and actionable for business goals and executive decision-makers. 

I bring a deep toolkit to my clients, serving as lead architect on a wide range of strategy, communications, training, and research projects. Prior to my business consulting career, I taught history, ethics, and religious studies and served as Dean of Spiritual and Ethical Life at Deerfield Academy.

Alongside my professional pursuits, I’m an avid reader, amateur musician and singer, and newsletter author (link in the “Featured” section). I also enjoy spending time with my family outdoors in coastal Massachusetts.
