BIOGRAPHY

I received a B.A. in Psychology in 1986 from the University of Delaware. I received both my M.S. (1990) and my Ph.D. (1995) in Applied Psychology from Stevens Institute of Technology.

I have experience working as an internal and external consultant. My present position is Senior Vice President of Global Leadership and Client Development at Marsh Inc. here in New York City. Marsh is the world’s largest insurance brokerage company, with over 40,000 associates across the globe. In my role, I work closely with line managers and corporate Human Resources in the areas of training and development, executive and sales coaching, 360 degree assessment, competency modeling, and organizational change.

My previous role was as a Vice President with Aon Consulting (Talent Solutions Consulting Group), where I directed projects involving assessment, development and learning programs for Fortune 500 companies in a wide range of industries. I also served as the Internal Project Director for Aon Consulting’s career development program initiative and the product development champion for the firm’s Internet-based leadership assessment and development program (LEADeR).
