Connecting teams with clear focus through executive storytelling.

Companies maintain status quo to avoid new ventures; in keeping with competitors. Yet that is where product opportunities are most abundant.
New levels of agility with AI is fundamentally challenging workforce decisions from market forces, requiring autonomy and adoption: critical thinking and rapid pilot testing for growth.
— Josh Nard

Before the investment,

executives need narrative problem framing

Leadership applied


01

Handwritten notes on lined paper discussing a topic related to incident types, analysis, and future considerations.

Executives need confidence in investments. I bridge gaps between customer demands and business barriers for decisive executive clarity in narrative insights and data storytelling. At United, we discovered that fliers valued compensation when it was immediate, lifting our CX scores. At Nuveen, I raised a design system urgency critical to enterprise deployments.

A detailed flowchart explaining the Caterpillar customer relationship management lifecycle, including stages like follow-up customer pricing meeting, final complete presentation, last call, final decision, win/loss review, sales closure follow-up, finalize discount, real-time availability check, pricing approval, real-time quote changes, conveying discount, and other processes with illustrations of people working at desks and using computers.

How do we get there? Executive top-down execution demands bottom-up cross-functional feasibilty for prioritizing parallel transformational success. At TIAA, evaluated research with KPI touchpoint scorecards to prioritize planning. At Caterpillar, aligned their global sales and product teams to adopt a planned rollout of a unified SFMC orchestration.

It takes a village, with tribal planning. 18 years bridging product, marketing, design, business, and engineering teams from roadmaps connected to CX journey/service blueprint feasibility. At Sapient, I applied Tech readiness with brand scorecards to prioritize sprint planning. At United, I co-led mobile strategies with WSJF, saving $8.4M YoY without 4.7K daily flights disruption.

Good design weighs everything, from empathy, constraints, and the root "why" behind a problem. In 12 months at TIAA, my team applied scaled components in 42 deployments, a new 0-1 design system in 4 months, content storytelling, and design workshops to coordinate enterprise deployments. An AI PFM app in 11 weeks.

Lastly, there is no finish line. I measure to optimize behaviors across journey and loyalty engagements while improving ROI. At Samsung, I ran weekly segmentation analytics to optimize site-wide deployments. At Stellantis, I applied omni-channel CRM team playbooks for measuring ownership care management.
