View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
As a proven transformational leader, I focus on the people side of technology and drive organizations to build a workforce that is passionate about their daily work. I have a sociology background from my years at UC Berkeley, where my studies focused on organizational behavior and I learned that the key to driving innovation is an inspired workforce. My passion for lifelong learning eventually led to me to various digital and IT roles where I’ve had the opportunity to drive transformational change by leveraging IT and digital solutions to propel business growth. Prior to joinging Neurocrine, I have helped lead transformational initiatives along with multibillion-dollar M&A integrations, digital marketing / demand generation, eCommerce, enterprise applications, call center operations, and LIMS sales/service teams overdelivering on aggressive revenue goals, most recently helping to drive value and outcomes through automation, AI, and data solutions. I’ve built a reputation as a trusted leader and culture transformation catalyst by fostering environments of accountability and collaboration while empowering individuals to take ownership of their careers and consistently deliver on expectations. My areas of expertise include: IT Leadership | Generative AI | Business Transformation | Digital Transformation | eBusiness / eCommerce | M&A Integrations | Data Science Insights | PMO Leadership | Program Management | CRM | Web Applications | SDLC | Cross-Functional Team Leadership | Demand Generation | Call Center Operations | Sales & Revenue Growth | Digital Automation | LIMS
