Inspiring clients to discover their personal/professional brands for business success is my passion. Partnership enablement (sales/marketing/operations) yielded the CRN Channel Champ award and is now expanded into social enterprise via television, magazines, and digital media.I’m equally likely to be seen in the board room or a coffee shop listening deeply to a person’s goals while drawing on my connections to support their success. One of my favorite partners refers to me as the ‘Branding Scientist’ – which I love because it connects my science background to storytelling. Mass Challenge welcomes me as a startup accelerator judge & mentor - which keeps me plugged in to exciting new ventures.I like to stretch the cutting edge of branding delivering keynotes at international events, hosting our award-winning podcast [AllAboutThatBrand], and most recently as an Executive Producer of a docuseries. Originally trained as a Bio/Electrical engineer, my first CEO venture was an online software solution. One of only two women to be venture funded at the multi-million-dollar level in Austin in 2000, our firm was featured in the Austin Business Journal, on KEYE, and won the KPMG Stand-Out Startup Award.I'm first a mother of two millennials and a wife. You can find my hubby and I performing R&B; at a local vineyard or sampling the awesome Italian fare in town.
