My purpose is to create clarity that unlocks profound wonder and meaningful new possibilities for others.

In her 2016 commencement address, Maria Popova describes cynicism as “that terrible habit of mind and orientation of spirit in which, out of hopelessness for our own situation, we grow embittered about how things are and about what’s possible in the world. Cynicism,” she adds, “is a poverty of curiosity and imagination and ambition.”

My work is the direct antidote to this poverty. I specialize in finding the hidden patterns others miss and designing the systems that allow ideas and knowledge to flow freely across boundaries.

I leverage advanced training in historical analysis and extensive experience strategically managing complex international programs. I thrive at the vital intersections that conventionally keep knowledge apart—between different disciplines, cultures, and the digital and analog worlds. This cross-cultural fluency, grounded in four languages (English, French, Spanish, Arabic) and work experience across three continents, is the bedrock of my systems thinking.

In every project I lead—whether I’m facilitating a seminar, coordinating an international conference, or designing a digital platform—the central challenge remains the same: moving people from confusion to awe. The core question I solve is: How do we shift perspective to unlock wonder and meaningful new possibilities?

My work is built on three pillars that allow me to find patterns and create flow:

1. Historical Synthesis: My background in history taught me how to trace the movement of ideas across time and space, establishing the clarity needed to find the hidden patterns others miss.

2. Cross-Cultural Fluency: Years living and working in Tunisia showed me how to navigate cultural complexity with curiosity and humility, which is essential to making knowledge flow across human boundaries.

3. Digital Infrastructure: My technical skills enable me to build the scalable digital systems that make this entire synthesis—of history, culture, and ideas—possible at scale.

I focus on initiatives that exist at strategic edges and intersections—the places where unexpected combinations create meaningful new possibilities. To inform this process, I maintain fluency across organizational design, the humanities, and technology. I’m driven by finding the right structural design to organize people and knowledge, and I am fascinated by how complex systems converge to create simple, powerful results.

I approach every organizational challenge as the antidote to complexity and cynicism. I believe deeply that organizations thrive when knowledge is actionable, when diverse perspectives converge, and when complexity is translated into clarity that inspires transformative action.

My methodology is driven by these three strategic questions:

• Uncover the Pattern: How can we uncover the systemic patterns that unlock a fundamental shift in perspective?
• Build the System: What scalable infrastructure would make those new patterns visible, accessible, and actionable for everyone?
• Create the Space: How can we create spaces where sustained mastery and deep understanding can emerge?

My approach is grounded in the belief that transformative results are only possible when people feel seen, heard, and inspired. These testimonials reflect my commitment to building trust, translating complexity into clarity, and guiding diverse groups toward a shared, successful outcome.

My interests outside of consulting directly inform my work. I love literary fiction, surrealism, folk horror, and the “weird” because they are master classes in shifting perspective and exploring the edges of reality. I spend time outdoors—camping, hiking, and exploring the environment—because the awe of nature is often where the clarity needed to solve complex problems emerges.

This intellectual landscape is reflected in my library, where I curate collections of resources and leave reviews on media that have shaped my thinking about patterns and meaning-making. If you’re interested in the more experimental side of my work, you might explore my compendium—a space for rougher thoughts and ongoing investigations into the architecture of ideas.

I am actively seeking opportunities to bring clarity and profound possibility to complex organizations. My focus is on strategic advisory roles in:

• Organizational Design

• Capability Strategy

• Cross-Domain Synthesis

I thrive in places where systems thinking, cross-cultural fluency, and a passion for meaningful synthesis create lasting impact.
