She later joined a start-up biopharmaceutical company in the bay area and served as the Director of New Business Development.
In 2002, with an ever-evolving curiosity and focus on "what creates excellence in leadership, on teams and in organizations" she retooled and retrained to contribute to positive change in health care as a coach and consultant. Since that time, she has provided leadership coaching to physicians, CEO’s, VPs, executive directors, and managers in health care and other sectors.
A sampling of recent organizational projects include: facilitating the development of a shared vision and strategic initiatives with a Fortune 100 company and multi-national vendors (Microsoft Latam, Atento and Sykes); engaging a large healthcare institution in a whole-system strategic planning process (Huntsman Cancer Institute); and engaging hundreds of physician leaders in a process to build collaborative leadership (American Medical Association, Presidents’ Forum).

She resides in Park City, Utah with her spouse Allan, a medical-cultural anthropologist. Among the many ways she finds inspiration, are being with their twin, toddler grand-daughters and hiking in beautiful places.
