Supporting Your Leadership Team

Rooted in Maine

I live and work in Maine because I love it here. This community is mine, and when the businesses in it do well, I feel it.

Been in Your Seat

We were agile, innovative, and moving fast. But as we grew, we realized we'd never figured out where we actually wanted to go. EOS changed that.

More than EOS

I'm more than your Implementer. Need an introduction, a recommendation, or even a sounding board? I'm a connector at heart, and if I can't help, I'll find someone who can.

What It’s Like to Implement EOS

Hear from the business leaders and teams I’ve had the privilege of guiding through their EOS journey.

About

I didn’t plan to become an EOS Implementer. But experiencing what it did for our team made it impossible to do anything else.

I was part of the leadership team at a bootstrapped startup, and we were falling apart in the way a lot of growing companies do. Communication breaking down. Accountability slipping. Everyone working hard with no real clarity on our vision. We brought in an EOS Implementer and the business transformed. Not overnight, and not without hard conversations. But our team got aligned, our culture strengthened, and we finally started growing with intention instead of just hustling to keep up.

That experience is why I do this work.

I’ve spent 20+ years across sales, marketing, HR, and client success. Since becoming a Certified EOS Implementer, I’ve led over 150 sessions with owner-led and family-owned businesses across Maine and New Hampshire.

I host all of my clients at my session room in Portland. Getting to experience the energy, the body language, and the connections that happen when everyone is present together is a big part of why I love this work. It also means a lot knowing that the businesses I support are part of the community I live in.

What I’ve learned: the leaders who get the most out of EOS are the ones willing to be honest and vulnerable about what isn’t working, about their own role in it, and about what they actually want their business to look like. Those are my people.

If that sounds like you, the first step is a free 90-Minute Meeting designed to get you and your leadership team on the same page about where you are and whether EOS is the right fit for your business.
