Like many marketing professionals in the building industry, I am so grateful to have discovered this profession – one that allows me to celebrate and share the work of extremely talented colleagues and also to have a tangible impact on my community.

I spent the first 15 years of my career working inside AEC firms. I’ve led successful initiatives that crossed boundaries between departments, such as branding, project pursuits, M&A integration, employee engagement, recruiting, and geographic expansion.

I’ve also been part of initiatives that didn’t succeed. I’m sure you have, too. For me, the unsuccessful experiences were just as valuable as the successful ones. The successes are the foundation of my expertise. The failures are what fueled my passion for starting my own business and helping others succeed.

I founded Cultivate Growth Partners with a mission to empower firms in the building industry to achieve their goals for growth and change. I know what it’s like to work in a busy environment where the technical staff is focused on serving clients and the marketing team (if there is one) is focused on serving the technical staff. Time and bandwidth are limited. Strategic initiatives often take a backseat to more pressing requests.

Sometimes you need an extra set of hands to get things done, or someone to keep you on track with your strategic goals. I partner with you to help you cultivate success and reap the long-term rewards of your investment in growth and change initiatives.
