I've spent more than two decades helping teams navigate complicated projects, improve the way they work, and become better leaders. Along the way, I've led project management teams, advised agencies and organizations, founded Digital PM Summit, and written Project Management for Humans.
I bring a mix of operational experience, practical problem-solving, and a healthy appreciation for the messy human side of work. My goal is to help teams build better habits, stronger relationships, and ways of working that actually stick.
