Hello!
A Little Bit About Me
I bring over 20 years of executive leadership, consulting, and coaching experience with a solid foundation in strategic planning and execution. Throughout my career, I have held various senior roles in both public and private organizations including Vice President Academic to Portage College and Executive Account Director in the IT industry.
With a Master’s degree in Business Leadership, I have developed and taught many university-level business administration courses. In 2016, I launched Sage & Summit Consulting, coaching leaders on how to create synergistic high-performance teams. Known for my strong communication skills, transformational leadership, and innovative problem-solving, I have successfully led many internal and external teams, committees, and boards to unprecedented success. As a speaker and facilitator, I have a talent for inspiring dynamic participation within an audience. Additionally, my international work experience has equipped me to work with diverse groups and complex human dynamics on many levels.
As a TEC Chair, I am committed to challenging my members to achieve their goals, get out of their own way and grow on purpose with clarity and confidence.
On a personal note, I hold certifications as a Certified Executive Coach and in strategic planning and balanced scorecard development from Kaplan& Norton. My education background includes a Bachelor’s in Law from the University of Stellenbosch and a Masters of Business Leadership with a focus on Corporate Strategy and Change Management from the University of South Africa. Outside of my professional endeavours, I am a proud member of Rotary International and find joy in spending time with my family, immersing myself in outdoor activities, appreciating the arts, practicing yoga, oil painting, and singing in a professional choir.
