THE PRESENT
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took time off to pursue a passion project (writing a book!) and spend time with my family. Who knew COVID-19 would happen and gift us with more quality time than we could ever have imagined!
I recently started a new role as CEO for McCann Worldgroup, China.
This job sits at the intersection of all my passion areas:
HEAD: Designing and building branded OMO HX, online-meets-offline human experiences.
HEART: Supporting creative, intelligent and passionate people to do what they love to do.
SOUL: Working for an organization that puts creativity and purpose at the center of all they do.
Please flip to THE FUTURE for an update on the book.

Live with intention.
What does it mean, to live with intention? Are you purposeful with your time and resources? If you recognize them as finite, non-replenishable resources... as finite as the cash in your wallet... would you make different investment choices? When you live with...
