Navigating growth, change, and increasing complexity in the military and defense space
Drawing on my two decades of experience as an exited founder and CEO in the industry, I advise small to mid-size military and defense business leadership teams on the strategy, relationships, and execution clarity needed to scale sustainably.
I founded and helped grow a woman-owned small business in the NAVWAR marketspace from a one-person startup to a multi-million-dollar corporation recognized as one of the Fastest Growing Companies by the San Diego Business Journal, leading the company through successful contract wins, team growth, and ultimately a strategic acquisition.
WHAT I FOCUS ON
Strategic planning and business growth
Leadership team alignment and organizational development, including business assessments
Proposal strategy and federal contracting guidance
Networking and relationship-building in the DoW community
how we work together
-
My clients are typically founders, CEOs, and leadership teams who need a trusted advisor who’s been in their seat—someone who understands the unique pressures of the defense sector and can help them navigate what’s next with clarity and confidence.

Ongoing Strategic Advisory
I provide senior-level strategic advisory support tailored to where the business is today and where it needs to go next.
I work with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to clarify priorities, assess opportunities, strengthen market position, and make sound decisions as they navigate growth, business development challenges, and organizational change.
Ongoing support can include:
• One-on-one leadership advising for founders and CEOs
• Guidance on evaluating and pursuing the right opportunities
• Mentoring key staff to strengthen internal capability
• Building relationships and making connections that matter in the DoW community
• Opportunity assessment and pursuit strategy
• Proposal advisory support
• Guidance navigating the federal contracting environment
Focused Strategic Projects
For organizations that need focused analysis, a clear recommendation, or support around a specific priority, I offer defined engagements with an agreed scope, practical deliverables, and a clear endpoint.
Projects may include:
• Business assessment
• Market-entry assessment
• Business development roadmap
• Capability, messaging, or market positioning review
• Focused research, planning, or executive project
-
The result is clearer direction, stronger leadership teams, and sustainable growth built on the right priorities and relationships.
I accept a limited number of consulting engagements each year to ensure strategic focus and meaningful client engagement.
