About Me

I am the Director of Strategic Partnerships at Open Architects and Executive Director at METAA. I have also been an independent consultant and strategic advisor to school districts and the organization s that serve them. I live in Needham, MA. I advocate for mastery-based models based on learning science that are tech-enabled to amplify the role of teachers and equitably support whole child growth. I was formerly the Chief Operating and Strategy Officer at ISTE where I led a complete modernization across finance, human resources, technology, and project management to make ISTE a best-in-class organization. I also led the acquisition and integration of EdSurge. At ISTE, I also served as the chief learning services officer where I improved the growth and sustainability of our products globally and supported the update and state adoption of the ISTE Standards. Overall, I have over thirty years of diverse public and private sector experience with success in C-level roles across domains including technology, operations, sales, marketing, HR, finance, and strategy. I can quickly address challenging situations based on my experience serving multiple industries with proven process, strategic, and change management methodologies. In addition to degrees from the University of Michigan and Kellogg, I am a lifelong learner with a growth mindset who is always seeking deeper understanding and new approaches to overcome barriers to inclusion, individual growth, and team performance.
