Strategic | Thoughtful | Experienced
I’m passionate about helping organizations with crisis management and business continuity planning.
I know what it means to operate in a complex environment.
I’m not just a consultant and a speaker, I’m also the Founder of Risk Resiliency and Publisher of How2Conquer. Like you, I’m a business person.
I’ve consulted for everything from growing restaurant systems to international air lines. Every organization will face a crisis at some point. My goal is to make sure your organization is ready.
What I believe
The heart and soul of organizational resilience has two components:
1. Every person who works for you gets to go home safely to the people they love.
2. Your organization is able to keep serving your particular mission.
If you’ve never faced a challenge to either of those core beliefs, then you’ve been incredibly lucky.
I know the importance of matching your resilience programs to your operational reality
I help organizations design and implement core resiliency practices like crisis management, business continuity, and emergency management. My experience with industries ranging from data centers to retail to manufacturing (and everything in between) means I come to engagements with planning expertise that helps you create the right program for where you are and what your mission is.
I believe culture matters in how you build programs
I’ve been imbedded in security and crisis management teams for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. If you or your team need a voice of reason who brings real world solutions and a wealth of operational knowledge, I’m here to help.
Learning culture sometimes happens best from an inside perspective. I’ve worked seamlessly alongside some of the very best teams across the world. Whether you need someone to act as a coach for your crisis management team or you need someone for a specific project or for a longer placement, I love being part of the team and helping your people achieve resilience faster and with more depth.
Crisis management is leadership development
As a speaker, I’ve addressed global audiences on the power of using simple strategies to prevent crisis from derailing scale and growth. Using my extensive experience helping global companies build resilience, I address topics around leadership development through crisis management and the fundamentals of business resilience. I frequently deliver my keynote, “How to Stop a Crisis” to trade groups and associations.
