Working with international scholars and their families, I saw that many spouses had left careers behind and couldn't work in the United States, and how isolating that could be. So I started bringing them together, from Thanksgiving dinners to weekend tours of the city. It taught me early that this work is not only about process. It's about people building a life. That belief still anchors how I think about design: as technology takes on more of the routine, thoughtful design is what protects the moments that need a human, and keeps expertise where it matters most.

That perspective stayed with me as I spent more than a decade leading Global Mobility and Immigration at Salesforce. Across every stage of my career, the core challenge remained remarkably consistent. Seeing those patterns repeat, and sometimes diverge, taught me to look beyond the visible problem to what was really driving the outcomes.

Going independent gave me the space to follow those questions beyond any single organization and toward the broader forces reshaping the global workforce. I've always been drawn to the questions that sit beneath accepted assumptions, not change for its own sake, but a belief that how we define a problem determines what becomes possible.

Today, I remain focused on Global Mobility because it sits at the intersection of changing workforce models, talent strategy, technology, and geopolitical shifts.

I keep this work focused by design rather than by default, partnering with organizations ready to question how the function is built, not just how it runs.

I also convene leaders across the mobility ecosystem, bringing together perspectives that rarely sit in the same conversation.

That early experience at UC San Francisco still anchors how I think about design. As technology takes on more of the routine, thoughtful design is what protects the moments that need a human, and keeps expertise where it matters most.
