The work doesn’t wait
for the course.

My first two jobs were senior staff accountant and senior data and financial analyst. I read a P&L statement before I ever wrote a learning objective, and that sequence permanently shaped the order I work in. I look at the desired end state first: the data, the outputs, the prototypes, the outcomes, what success looks and feels like for the end user, before a single input gets created.

I spent a decade at Randstad, moving through six roles from Organizational Development Consultant to Director of Organizational Effectiveness, owning the learning function throughout, 10 lines of business, a $3M budget and a team of 13 by the end, and was chosen from 500 HR professionals globally for the Netherlands high-potential assignment at global HQ. Equifax hired me to run learning and organizational change and promoted me within fourteen months to own all of global talent management, 20,000 workers across 26 countries, and the EFX Leadership Institute, which put roughly 2,000 leaders a year through structured development.

Today I am Chief Learning & Strategy Officer at the National Black MBA Association, where I was hired to create the NBMBAA Institute: a four-track digital learning product now serving 3,000+ learners, and where I own the 10,000-attendee conference and career expo end to end, from hiring the speakers and musical talent to hosting it from the stage. In 2025 they added Strategy to the chair and asked me to open new revenue streams through partnerships. That partnership work is what I am proudest of right now. I have been faculty at The Executive Leadership Council since 2021, teaching social identity and executive leadership to senior executives from IBM, Deloitte, Merck, Capital One, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Accenture and others.

Alongside that I co-founded CulTRUE, a workforce-intelligence startup where I hold the AI and data strategy chair. The product is an AI-forward employee alignment tool that measures a workforce against five fulfillment factors and the company’s own stated values, analyzes and solutions for microcultures, and closes with an individual action plan and collective team plan. I built the MVP myself and I use it in sales proposals today; a Corewell Health Report, built on sample data, is in the portfolio. I am a fractional learning consultant for Independent Sector, building the Advocacy Activation Validation Series; and I sit on the MBA Program Advisory Council at Western Governors University and the National Advisory Board of Independent Sector’s Center of Excellence on the Nonprofit Workforce.

Through NBMBAA I also work with colleges, states and universities to move their learning landscape onto AI. I built the Howard University MBA Program Innovation proposal, which embeds stackable credentials from nationally accredited bodies into the degree to answer falling graduate enrollment, and the State of MD Workforce Development Transformation with the Governor’s office, which layers business ownership and an AI maturity ladder onto Maryland’s existing trades and apprenticeship programs.

My doctorate is in Organizational Leadership Studies from Northeastern University. The dissertation, “The quest for innovation: learning systems and innovativeness within a global organization,” is grounded in Parsons’s theory of social systems and in Schwandt and Marquardt’s model for organizational learning systems. The work instills learning agility, showing how an organization that stays open to learning, and supports that openness with practices such as design thinking, keeps innovating as conditions change.
