all things learning,
brand & culture.
Learning, brand & culture may seem separate, but they’re deeply connected:
Learning shapes how we grow. Brand shapes how we show up. Culture shapes how we work together.
This intersection is my sweet spot: where teams find clarity, people feel belonging, and businesses build something meaningful.

scaling organizational culture
Cultural ambition has to be explicitly expressed + given guardrails, especially when scaling. Otherwise the strongest or loudest voices will create it.🎙️ I've seen this firsthand (with varying degrees of success, candidly) at renowned brands like lululemon, Zalando, Adidas, Apple and On and talked through a couple of ways I've worked to impact it w/ Adam Lacey & The Assemble You team.
How To Make A Leader (Podcast Interview)
Most L&D teams are building programs — yet the best ones are also building philosophies.
A brand's Learning Philosophy is a North Star — a shared belief system about how people grow — and it repositions your L&D team from content creators to Cultural Amplifiers. 🚀
“Can Culture Save L&D?” (podcast)
Really enjoyed this conversation w/ Adam Lacey on "The Assembly" by Assemble You.
We dug into some of my favorite topics + a few of my foundational POVs on L&D:
(1) Learning Culture as an extension of Brand Culture
(2) Why every company needs a Learning Philosophy
(3) How L&D can evolve from a traditional support function into Culture Amplifiers 🚀
Interview: Talent Development Hot Seat
Reflecting on my journey in brand, program management and learning and development (+ an early career in the arts 🤫), Andy and I discussed unconventional career paths and lessons learned from working at great companies like Apple, lululemon and Adidas. In my current role, we talked about how a Brand Learning Philosophy is designed to help organizational cultures continue to flourish as they grow.
