I help CHROs and senior leaders make better workforce decisions at the intersection of business strategy, human behavior, risk, cost, and emerging technology. As a Principal Analyst at Gartner, I research and advise on workforce strategy, organizational design, leadership and manager effectiveness, succession, executive development, and AI’s impact on how work is structured and led. I translate complex market signals, enterprise data, and executive perspectives into practical frameworks leaders can use to make consequential people and business decisions. Clients frequently book inquiries with me to secure actionable, data-driven frameworks for leading enterprise AI transformations, improving manager effectiveness, and solving pressing talent-retention challenges.
