Bio

As Grant Thornton’s Central Region Managing Partner, my primary focus is on developing and retaining our people, driving market leadership, as well as empowering our teams to help our clients achieve their most critical business goals. I am an inclusive leader that is focused on building a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture of belonging for all. I work to empower our 3,000 professionals in our central region across 20 states and 19 offices to serve thousands of US and global clients within multiple industries. I work with our teams to deliver value and insights to clients in the region, ensuring that we take an enterprise-wide perspective to serving each client’s needs. I also lead the region’s efforts to attract, retain, and develop our professionals, engendering a strong culture of collaboration, client service, and community engagement. As a member of GT’s national leadership team, I participate in firm strategy development and implementation, and provide input into major operational decisions. I have had extensive experience working across the US as a client service partner, growth leader, industry leader and senior advisor on Fortune 500 clients. I have been deeply involved in developing the firm’s key alliance and channel relationships in a variety of markets, as well as building our network of executive peer advisory boards and other leadership forums around the country. My leadership portfolio includes serving as GT’s national managing partner of Markets, Clients and Industry, overseeing the firm’s strategic key client portfolio, industry sectors, regions, sales, market intelligence and customer analytics. Prior to that role, I was a member of the firm’s Partnership Board, while also serving as the national managing partner for GT’s Banking and Securities industry practice, as well as the leader of markets and industries in metropolitan New York and New England. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband Dudley, our children Jacob & Hannah, and our dogs Molly & Abby. We are passionate about serving the community together including Meals on Wheels and Students & Athletes Serving Others.
