Specializing In Mid-Market Leadership Intelligence

Great workplaces are shaped by leaders who understand their impact, build trust, bring clarity to their teams, and recognize when their leadership helps others thrive and when it gets in the way.

Leadership Consultant | 15+ Years in Leadership Assessment

Global Business & Project Leadership · Senior Business Function Leader · Senior Human Resources Leadership · Senior Consulting Experience · Honours BA, University of Toronto

My leadership journey began at 16, when I earned the opportunity to run Volkswagen Canada's European Delivery Program while the manager took a six-week summer vacation.

I was hooked.

After earning my Honours BA from the University of Toronto, I joined a management trainee program before moving into project leadership, directing complex technology implementations across international markets—from Mexico City and Bangalore to Belfast and Amsterdam.

My career progressed into a Director role at a large pharmaceutical company, followed by senior Human Resources leadership and leadership consulting. These experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of how leadership decisions and behaviours shape people, teams and organizational performance.

Good intentions don't always translate into the impact we intend.

For more than 15 years, I have specialized in 360-degree feedback and leadership assessments.

I founded CP Consulting to make independent, high-quality leadership intelligence accessible to mid-sized, privately held, family-owned and nonprofit organizations without the cost or complexity of a large consulting firm.

Because leadership decisions have far-reaching consequences. The more clearly we understand our leaders, the better equipped we are to develop their potential, recognize vulnerabilities and build stronger organizations.

CP Consulting exists to help organizations see clearly and lead decisively.
