Force multiplier
for senior executives.

I am a force multiplier for senior executives. Leaders, organizations, and leadership teams engage me at critical moments when the path forward is unclear and they have to get it right.

The answer is within you. We discover who you need to become to win, design the roadmap together, and activate it. When you do, you operate with clarity, confidence, calm, and curiosity — and income, revenue, and profit multiply.

Before launching Northlyght, I built teams, led turnarounds, managed P&Ls, and guided Fortune 1000 executives and their organizations through transformations. I know what it takes to not just design a path forward, but to walk it.

My work is also shaped by The Institute for Wisdom and Wonder, an exploration of how companies can leverage what is uniquely human in a world where knowledge and execution are becoming commodities.

I hold an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. I currently serve as President of the Kellogg Alumni Club of Atlanta and Co-Chair of The Atlanta Speaker Series.

My wife, Yen Ling, and I have three daughters. I love a good discussion with you about you, 1930s-50s baseball cards, fall at the beach or in the mountains, weekends in NYC with Yen Ling, and watching my daughters shine.
