Instructor
I guide leaders through the risks and opportunities that lie at the crossroads of politics, security, and global business. With my international experience, gained through living, studying, and working in countries such as China, Vietnam, and Taiwan, I fully understand the political, cultural, and economic issues that organizations face when operating across the globe.
Having earned a Master’s in International Security as well as an MBA in International Management, I am known for my expertise in US/Asia relations. I perform research and analysis, then combine the results into actionable intelligence. Furthermore, I excel in verbally presenting information in a variety of settings. I am deeply motivated by the need to solve problems, identify opportunities, and craft innovative solutions.
Whether leading or partnering with international teams, I seek projects where I can see tangible results and where I feel I can make a difference. I drive change through the creation of a collaborative atmosphere, while leaving room to challenge assumptions and encourage vigorous debate.
