Stewardship at the intersection of science, strategy, and society.

Independent Advisor | Board Member | Creative

I work with founders, C-suite executives, boards, and investors to navigate complexity and accelerate impact for shareholders, stakeholders, and society. Across life sciences, social enterprise, regenerative systems, and governance, I help organizations grow with integrity, resilience, and shared value creation.

I also practice regenerative gardening and create music.

Discovery to Governance

My vocation has traced an arc of translating big ideas and innovations into meaningful impact for health of people and planet.

With decades leading teams at the intersection of scientific discovery, enterprise building, and systems-level governance, I have built, launched, and scaled organizations from early research through global growth, advising leaders at moments of inflection, and serving on fiduciary and advisory boards where science, capital, and public benefit converge.

As an independent advisor and board member, I help teams and boards translate complexity into clarity, strategy into accountable action, and intention into impact.

Independent Advisory and Board Service

I serve as an independent advisor and board member to organizations navigating growth, complexity, and impact. My scientific mind, governance expertise, and strategic clarity add value to life sciences ventures, impact investors, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs.

My work spans fiduciary board service and deep advisory relationships with founders, executives, and boards. I bring a practitioner’s perspective shaped by decades of enterprise building, global growth, and ecosystem leadership, with particular depth in life sciences, health, conservation, and social impact.

Château Lucie

I practice regenerative land stewardship: tending soil, water, plants, and biodiversity with the care and intention that guide my vocational endeavors. Shaped by observation, experimentation, and reciprocity, the seasonal rhythms, soil health, and ecological balance offer daily reminders that stewardship and service are active practices.

Château Lucie is our home near Sebastopol, in Sonoma County, named for our cat Lucie. Tending my garden mends my soul and guides me to imagine impact for future generations.

Music & Creative

I write lyrics and generate music exploring love, memory, justice, and the living world.

Creative practice sharpens what matters most in leadership and governance: listening, attention, and respect.

Selected works are available for out-licensing and collaboration, including lyrics and narratives suited to film, television, and other media.

Work that Endures

Through science, governance, regenerative land stewardship, and writing, my work is guided by a belief that intention, integrity, and long-term care for people and planet benefit everyone and all beings.

I welcome a conversation, whether the work involves strategy, governance, or creative collaboration.
