I am an entrepreneur, advisor and coach.
My time spent in the worlds of politics, Fortune 500 companies, and start-ups lends me the perspectives and experience that serves my clients on all levels.
The foundation for these skills can be found in my education — a BA in Philosophy from the University of Michigan, and Leadership Coaching Certification from Brown University.
If my ability to clarify complexity and design elegant solutions can contribute to the success of you and your company let’s have a conversation!
I formed Giffords Group to build an organization of professionals with diverse skills that share common values. We create impact by integrating a generalist perspective with tactical skills and embedding with clients to ensure solutions are integrated and seamless.
In addition to curiosity, collaboration, accountability and professional excellence we value time – ours and our clients. We don’t believe in excess meetings or unfocused documentation.
Our engagements are bespoke, yet in every case we avoid needless disruption of current operations and achieve outcomes by maximizing existing capabilities and resources.


For Organizations:
- Diagnose the root cause of pain points and blockers
- Increased productivity
- Team building & retention
- Increased bottom line profitability
- Increased customer satisfaction
- Maximized return on operational expenditures
- Reduction in cross-functional conflict
- Sustainable change management
For individuals:
- Greater success with organizational change efforts
- More effective team leadership
- Accelerated goal accomplishment
- Fact-based decision making
- Improved self-awareness and self-management
- Improved relationships with co-workers
- Accelerated learning

Our engagements start with a conversation.
Tell us what is keeping you up at night and what goals we can help you achieve.
From these conversations we develop a proposal.
Sometimes this is a single meeting, other times it can be a long-term engagement. We respond to the specificity of each client and project with detailed proposals, measurable results and a defined end point.
Our pricing is equally responsive and reflects the level of expertise and time involved. Our preference is to bill by the project or as a monthly retainer – managing hourly billings interrupts flow and adds costs.
Organizations with a…
- willingness to tie each engagement to a defined output
- an understanding that decisions in the details have a seismic impact on broader business goals
- a mind-set open to considering new solutions to old pain points
Leaders who are…
- experts, yet aware of their limitations and -surround themselves with excellence
- who are driven by their past success to create future successes for themselves and those around them

From organization to individual leaders who know that they grow best and fastest when they have a thought partner who engages deeply, challenges respectfully and actively partners in finding options, opportunities, and solutions.
