In my first career at Kemps, I managed a P&L for 29 of my 30 years. I was highly-focused on developing a common-sense financial acumen and an efficient approach to achieve results. 

 

As I began to reflect on my career, I recognized that the most fulfilling part of my long tenure with the company was the deep personal relationships I developed with colleagues and customers. It was there that my passion for coaching, developing talent, and improving organizational dynamics emerged.

​

In 2014 I turned that experience into a full-time role in organizational development and coaching with the Astrup Companies. I guided, advised, and assisted the company through a significant period of transition: shifting company leadership from the second generation of family ownership to the third; developing and placing a new executive management team; and completing business acquisitions and closures—all while achieving significant business growth.  

​

The culmination of my experiences at Astrup’s and Kemps is the launch of Business Genetics, a consulting and coaching business with two primary areas of focus: family businesses and leadership teams.
