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.

Particularly during periods of transition (but quite possibly, all the time), we increase our odds of success when we think like a coder. This week, we were providing a team of movers with directions on what should be packed and what should remain in the house. And as...

China’s medical check
Hooray, we exited quarantine this week! Next, we needed to get through China's mandatory medical check in order to secure our working visas and resident's permits. Note: this has nothing to do with COVID. In fact, every time we've come to work in China, we've...

Leave it better than you found it.
Well, we're moving out of home in Bellevue, Washington. As I look around, especially as we're handing the keys over to ex-colleagues, we want to be very sure that we're leaving it in great shape. And in fact, we're leaving it better than we found it. In the same way,...
