Leadership. Resilience. Action.

I was six, the only girl in a house full of boys, and nobody was passing me the Atari controller. So I took it. Four hours later, I’d won every round.

Technology was never a spectator sport in my family. My grandmother was working at IBM as a program analyst in 1963, when few women held those roles. I didn’t know it then, but she was showing me what was possible.

That instinct to claim a seat and master the tool shaped everything that followed. I became a first-generation college graduate, then spent more than 20 years leading complex technology transformations. In 2004 I founded what is now iLeap Group, and I’ve since taken the stage at more than 100 events.

“The technology is rarely the problem. The gap is human.”

Along the way I learned what the controller taught me: organizations don’t stall because the tools fail. They stall because people aren’t equipped, aligned or confident enough to use them.

Today I partner with leaders to close that gap. I move teams from AI hesitation to everyday adoption and turn stalled transformations into measurable results. One client went from launch to 98% daily adoption in 26 days.

Mindsets > Machines™. That’s where every leap begins.
