The through-line

The work has always been the same shape: a broad mandate, evidence scattered across systems and teams, and a decision that has to be defended in a room. Sector coverage spans asset management and consumer packaged goods, with mandates in growth strategy, governance and risk, M&A diligence and new-category entry.

A full-time Kellogg MBA. Based in Minneapolis, working remotely with teams anywhere in the United States.
