About me
As a trusted advisor and Director of Sales at Andersen, I help organizations unlock the business value of AI and digital transformation but more importantly, I help people see their own potential within it. With a background in global sales leadership and experience at companies like HPE, American Express, Microsoft and Andersen, I’ve worked alongside executive teams to embed AI and digital technologies into their core business processes accelerating innovation, improving customer experience, and shaping data-driven strategies that truly make an impact. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about empowering women in tech. At Microsoft, I led women’s community initiatives and mentored emerging professionals, helping them build confidence, navigate their career paths, and find their authentic leadership voice. Today, I continue this mission by supporting women in tech communities across regions sharing lessons from both success and failure, and encouraging others to grow through curiosity, resilience, and collaboration. My approach is rooted in human-centered innovation: technology should serve people, not replace them. As a mentor, I aim to help women connect their ambitions with real opportunities, turning potential into practical, people-driven impact. Let’s connect to explore how we can make transformation and leadership more inclusive, confident, and value-driven together.
