My Mission

My mission is to elevate leadership effectiveness in an evolving world, harnessing the synergies between humans and advanced technologies. By integrating insights from diverse fields, from AI to neuroscience, I guide leaders through transformational journeys towards authenticity, purpose, and trust-building. My goal is to create environments where innovation flourishes and teams are empowered to excel.

People are the most critical element in system safety, reliability and performance. Their creativity, adaptability and problem-solving capabilities are key to resilient operations across the gamut of aerospace applications. Advances in computing power and communications, increased automation and access to distributed information resources for collaboration, monitoring and control, all contribute to new challenges for humans as critical decision-makers in complex systems.
