Senior Advisor

In addition to being a Certified Exit Planning Adviser (CEPA) who specializes in Growth Strategy and baby boomer exit planning, I'm also the author of “Poised for Exit: A Woman Entrepreneur’s Guide to Business Transition” and an instructor and adviser at RFN Academy and RFN Advisory Group.

Seeing and hearing about the impact of the work I do in the eyes and in the comments of my clients is what I find most fulfilling about being a value acceleration and transition planner. When they’re sleeping better, I’m sleeping better.

As a life-long entrepreneur, I bring an uncommon set of skills and talent to every speaking and consulting engagement. More than 28 years of experience in business development and management informs my work as an instructor, consultant, podcaster, author and national speaker. I treasure opportunities to exchange stories with others and am committed to helping business owners exit on their own terms, not someone else’s.

Thank you to the esteemed Amelia Earhart for this bit of wisdom: “The most difficult thing is the decision to act; the rest is merely tenacity.”
