Overview
I lead the Digital Growth team at CLA—aligning our industry strategies, client insights, and go-to-market to help our clients translate technology into measurable outcomes. My focus: make digital transformation real for clients by orchestrating the right people at the right time across strategy, analytics, automation and AI, software, and cybersecurity.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of strategy, finance, and technology, primarily serving mission-driven organizations. That foundation keeps me grounded in outcomes that matter—helping leaders modernize operations, make better decisions with data, and unlock new capacity with AI and automation.
