I help organizations solve big complicated problems by understanding how people actually think, decide, and create. I work at the intersection of neuroscience, behavioral science, and strategic innovation. Whether you’re navigating organizational change, building a creative culture, or reimagining a product or system, I bring research-backed insights and pragmatic strategy to help you think more clearly and act more boldly.
Speaking & Thought Leadership
Keynotes & workshops on the neuroscience of creativity, leadership, and decision-making
I keynote and facilitate workshops at major conferences and corporate events, helping leaders and teams understand the neuroscience behind creativity, decision-making, and strategic thinking. My research background in cognitive neuroscience combined with real-world consulting experience means I translate complex brain science into actionable insights that stick.
Includes:
- Keynote presentations on neuroscience of creativity, leadership, decision-making, and change
- Leadership workshops & team experiences grounded in cognitive science
- Speaking engagements at conferences, corporate retreats, and association events
- Panel participation and thought leadership facilitation
Why me: I actively speak at CPSI (the nation’s top creativity conference), NEAAE, the Florida Creativity Conference, and multiple industry platforms. My doctoral research on creativity and cognition, combined with hands-on experience helping organizations innovate, gives me credibility across academia and business.
Executive Coaching & Creative Leadership
Unlock creative confidence and better decision-making in leaders
One-on-one and team coaching for leaders building creative confidence, navigating complexity, and making strategic decisions under uncertainty. Using behavioral science frameworks and cognitive psychology, I help you understand how your brain works—and how to leverage that for better thinking and bolder action.
Includes:
- Executive coaching on creative leadership and strategic decision-making
- Team coaching and creative problem-solving facilitation
- Leadership development around cognitive flexibility and navigating change
- Coaching on building a culture of innovation and creative confidence
- Coaching through ambiguity and organizational complexity

Strategic Innovation & Problem-Solving
Solve big strange problems through behavioral science & systems thinking
Partner with me to tackle your organization’s toughest challenges. I bring behavioral science, systems thinking, experimental design, and cognitive insights to product strategy, organizational challenges, or strategic decisions that feel stuck or ambiguous. I don’t just advise—I design, test, and iterate alongside your team.
Includes:
- Strategic research grounded in behavioral science and cognitive psychology
- Innovation sprints and design workshops
- Product strategy informed by how people actually think and decide
- Organizational systems design around behavioral and cognitive insights
- Experimental design and testing frameworks
- Insight translation (turning complex data into actionable strategy)
Why me: I’ve helped companies scale products with behavioral design (GoMo: 301% conversion lift with 15K+ users), navigate climate innovation at scale (Allelo: 12+ strategic partnerships), and apply behavioral insights across product and operations. I work at the intersection of human reasoning and machine reasoning, helping teams think systemically about their biggest challenges.

Every organization is different
Every organization I work with has different challenges, different constraints, and different opportunities. What they share is a commitment to understanding the human side of strategy—how people think, decide, and create.
If you have something different in mind or want to explore how we might work together, let’s talk.
