At the heart of her leadership is a commitment to bring out the best in people while championing visionary leadership. She disrupts corporate cultures that dehumanize both employees and consumers, failing to acknowledge their pivotal roles in shaping the success of transformative efforts. Instead, she is dedicated to cultivating vibrant and inclusive cultures that elevate the core value of execution excellence and inspire everyone to truly belong to the shared ambition of achieving the best possible results.

Her doctoral research A Hidden Virus: Looking for Evidence of Narcissistic Abuse in the Workplace can also be a point of reference for our chat! Her research took an institutional look into this phenomenon, how it gets propagated in organizations, becomes a systemic "cultural disorder," and how victims end up isolated and more often than not out of their jobs as the only way into self-preservation.
