I am an American from California. I live in Istanbul. I do communications coaching for multinational finance companies. My job is to train executives and managers how to communicate and present their visions more clearly. I started down that road in 2007, when I helped start the first Toastmasters club in Istanbul. I love communications training because I love helping people share their visions with the people around them. I partner with Sunum Ofisi so we can provide training in both English and in Turkish. I have extensive international trade and operations experience, including supply chain management, ecommerce sales and customer service, and business communications coaching. I have spent 33% of my adult life abroad, with stints living and working in China and in Turkey. In 2012-2013 I walked across Turkey, starting at the Aegean sea at Kuşadası and finishing at the Turkey-Iran border east of Van. The walk, a solo affair, took me seven months. I speak regularly about the walk to schools and non-profits. I am also writing a book about it.

And, to bring more diversity to speaker lineups at tech industry events, I teach public speaking workshops and co-authored "Present! A Techie’s Guide to Public Speaking." Formerly, I spent over 25 years building software products. I started off writing code and over time moved into executive leadership. Most recently, I was a vice president at Adobe Systems, where I led corporate-wide product globalization, software security, and other cross company engineering functions. Outside of my commercial ventures I work with a number of non-profits. I'm on the Brown University Computing and Information Technology Advisory Council. I'm also on the advisory boards for The Women's CLUB of Silicon Valley, WEST (Women Entering & Staying in Technology), Women Serve on Boards, and Brown University's Computer Science Department Diversity Committee. And through the Brown University Women's Launch Pad, I mentor young women about to start their careers. I'm also a bit of a public speaking geek. I'm a TEDx speaker, and I frequently give keynotes at conferences. With Poonima Vijayashankar, I wrote "Present! A Techie's Guide to Public Speaking," published November 2015. In addition, I've written articles for The Daily Beast, Inc., Fast Company, Women 2.0, and other leadership sites.

When faced with a decision to choose a path, I always tend to pick the off beaten track, whether it’s in business life, or my personal life. My social media marketing and social entrepreneurship abilities come from my worldwide experience, traveling and getting to know different businesses, learning new tools and sharing knowledge. I genuinely and deeply care about people I work with and I believe we can always learn something from one another, which I think helps me become a better leader every day. I love bold ideas, and my drive, commitment and fearlessness come from the profound quest to make the world a better place. I try to use my skills to create social impact through the power of social media. I get inspired by people and their stories - they are my reason to get out of bed in the morning.

I hold a proven record of driving go-to-market strategy, customer journey differentiation and building brands. I am as effective in the earliest stage start-up as I am in the largest technology companies in the world. I am compelled to always keep moving forward, and am driven by impactful work. I encourage open discussions, with a tendency toward asking the hard questions. I have worked within some companies which truly tested my ability to translate ambiguity into action, and I passed the test.
