Hi, my name is Julie. I collaborate with PE portfolio companies, high-growth organizations, leadership teams, and individual executives to build leadership capability that drives performance and scale.

Here’s What I’ve Learned in 20+ Years. Leadership is the difference between companies that scale successfully and those that stall. When organizations grow rapidly—through acquisition, geographic expansion, or market disruption—leadership capability either becomes your competitive advantage or your bottleneck.

My Approach. I help you identify, develop, and retain the leaders who will take your business to the next level. Whether you’re a PE portfolio company or high-growth organization scaling rapidly, a leadership team needing alignment around transformation, or an individual executive navigating a critical transition—I bring both the psychology expertise and business acumen to drive measurable results.

My Background. Earned degrees in psychology from Yale University and an MBA from Columbia Business School. Built 20+ years of consulting expertise at Deloitte, Mentora, and Delta Air Lines, where I led the global enterprise leadership strategy as General Manager of Global Leadership, Learning & Development. Achieved Columbia and ICF-certified executive coach credentials, specializing in leadership transitions and measurable behavior change. Designed and facilitated senior leadership programs for Delta's SVP-level leaders, GE Ventures' CEOs at GE's Crotonville Leadership Center, and thousands of Fortune 500 executives at companies like Kraft Heinz, MetLife, Unilever, and Verizon—consistently averaging 4.8+ ratings. Certified in Hogan Assessment, HBDI, and CliftonStrengths.

Why Leadership Matters More Than Ever. Whether you’re a PE portfolio company accelerating toward exit, a venture-backed scale-up, or an established organization navigating disruption—leadership effectiveness is your #1 value creation lever. Yet 71% of CFOs turn over post-deal and CEO churn remains elevated. I build the leadership bench that drives sustainable growth and successful outcomes.

Let’s build the leadership bench your business needs to win through leadership consulting, coaching, and facilitation.
