MY SUPERPOWER IS strategy.
As a strategist, I’m hard-wired to unlock possibilities. I’m always asking, “how could we make this even better?”
MY CORE BELIEF IS I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to create experiences that help you see and act on what’s possible.

BRIGHTER FUTURES MEANS hope. Embracing the unknown when the ground underneath is shifting. The confidence to keep moving in a direction that aligns with your innermost beliefs. And taking action, even when it’s scary and requires a leap of faith.
Lots of consultants come in with great ideas and no way to execute them. Tournesol had such a range of superpowers, they were able to make magic happen.”
