About
Rooms don't leave my sessions with a list of things to think about. They leave with a diagnosis and a next move. I've run marketing, sales, partnerships, and customer success inside 20+ growth-stage B2B companies — not as an advisor watching from the outside, but in the seat. That cross-functional depth is what makes the difference when I'm on stage or at the moderating table. I don't bring one lane. I bring the whole road. As a moderator, I research every panelist, build questions that create tension and real insight rather than talking points, and keep the conversation moving without losing the thread. The result, in the words of a recent co-organizer: "what could have been a stiff panel felt like a real conversation." As a speaker, I cover the revenue gaps that are quietly killing profitability at growth-stage companies — and I show leaders how to identify which one to fix first. I speak and moderate at B2B, founder, and women's leadership events across Southern California, the Bay Area, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. Virtual and in-person.
Scaling Smart: The 5 Revenue Gaps That Kill Profitability
Keynote, Workshop, Webinar • 15 min, 60 min, 3-hour
Most growth-stage companies aren't struggling because they lack ambition. They're scaling their problems. More people, more tools, and more AI on top of broken systems doesn't produce profit — it produces a more expensive version of the same problem. This talk covers the five most common profitability gaps — follow-up, sales process, marketing alignment, customer success, and partnerships — and shows leaders how to identify which one to fix first.

What a Bad Sales Hire Actually Costs
Workshop, Training, Session • 30 min, 60 min, 90 min
What to Do Before You Hire Sales and Why it Matters $150K is the floor. $500K is the real cost when a sales hire doesn't stick — and for founder-led or founder-dependent orgs, it usually isn't the person's fault. This session isn't about hiring better. It's about what has to be true before you hire at all — whether it's your first sales hire, your second through fourth as you scale a small team, or a re-hire after the last one didn't work out. The strategy almost never lives anywhere but the founder's head. You can't onboard someone into a system that doesn't exist. That's not a people problem — it's a sequencing problem, and there's a right order to solving it before the search even starts. Key Takeaways: The real cost curve of a sales hire — why ramp time is the exposure nobody budgets for What breaks internally (team confidence, client relationships, market perception) that never shows up in the hiring budget The three things that have to exist before the job goes live, and three that can build while the search runs
