After 30 years of leading diverse, multicultural teams across financial services firms in Boston, Bangalore, and New York, I founded Tradewinds Career Consulting to help organizations unlock the power of purpose-driven leadership in their organizations, domestic and global.

My love for international travel and experiencing other cultures is a personal passion, and it blossomed very early for me. I lived in several regions of the United States during my childhood with my family. My international education began during my sophomore year when I lived in Rome, Italy, and began to travel throughout Europe. Upon graduation, I started a two-year Fulbright teaching position in Austria. Since then, I have never stopped finding ways to see the world. I have traveled extensively in Europe and visited northern and eastern Africa and the UAE. I accepted an expat position at my firm; while serving as an expat in India for three years, I toured extensively in Asia and later established a firm for my employer in Dalian, China.

I sought opportunities to navigate my career goals by combining my love for international travel with my professional accomplishments. During my last 12 years in corporate, I focused on international leadership roles, managing global delivery, establishing new multi-national businesses and governance models, forging multi-national strategic partnerships, and contracting joint ventures.

So why pivot to start Tradewinds Career Consulting?

I navigated my career by building high-performing teams, igniting shared vision and purpose to drive innovation, deliver exceptional customer stewardship, and solve complex global challenges. My greatest career satisfaction has been sharing my experience and expertise to help global teams and colleagues achieve global initiatives. Creating Tradewinds Career Consulting enables me to draw on my deep and varied expertise to deliver bespoke consulting, advisory services, and coaching, addressing precisely the skillsets our clients want to elevate.

At Tradewinds Career Consulting, we guide growing companies to foster cultures of creativity, alignment, and productivity. We work with firms of all sizes—domestic and global—focused on creating dynamic, purpose-driven environments.

For domestic teams, our Re-ignite Your Teamwork program, powered by the Working Geniuses framework, boosts collaboration and momentum with practical, sustainable strategies you can implement immediately.

In 2024, we expanded to offer B2B solutions for cultivating Intercultural Leadership, which is critical for organizations navigating outsourcing, mergers, and global expansion. By fostering resilient, cross-cultural collaboration, we help companies turn diversity into a competitive advantage in any market.

As a frequent guest lecturer at international business schools in the US, I share my insights and expertise with the next generation of leaders and learn from their emerging cross-cultural perspectives.

I dedicate my consulting and coaching of global professionals in intercultural leadership skills to build enterprises and teams worldwide that treat each other and one another’s cultures with mutual dignity and respect.
