is well-recognized for her early adaptation of several “business best practices” across multiple industry sectors. These include transforming agility and lean management developed by Toyota Motor Manufacturing; team empowerment noted for its successful adoption by Southwest Airlines in the early 2000s; authentic, vulnerable and brave leadership championed by Brene’ Brown’s Dare to Lead/Daring Teams Initiative; and strategic leadership and direction-setting tools like SWOT Analysis and Kaplan and Norton’s Balanced Scorecard (BSC). By personally applying all of these methods, she can appreciate firsthand how these can be successful as well as how they can fail.

For over two decades, she led the Center for Comparative Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital who continues to be recognized in the biomedical community as one of the top programs of its kind in the world. She has participated at the highest leadership levels (both as a consultant and a Board Member) most notably with the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM), The ACLAM Foundation, Vivarium Operations Excellence Network and other associations in the biomedical and veterinary community. She has a 30+-year career of building strong leaders, teams and organizations in the biomedical and veterinary industries.
