Onto the next chapter
Today marks the end of my 16 ? year journey with CEB/Gartner – the place where I’ve spent my entire career. Its hard to put into words what this place and its people mean to me. I will forever be inspired by the impact we have on the world’s leaders at their most pivotal career moments, and the brilliant people who drive that outcome. Its been an honor to work alongside you and form friendships that will last a lifetime.
Across my time, I have fought hard, failed fast, and won big - the lessons I’ve learned professionally have permanently shaped me. I am especially grateful to Paul Duggan for letting me fly, standing out of the way and showing belief and trust in me that allowed me to reach new heights across my years as a seller. One of those was walking, ok….more like running, through a door so graciously opened by Andrea Watt to explore my passion of sales learning & development. You put me on the big stage in front of 1,000 people a month in and have been pushing me out of my comfort zone ever since. Challenging me, elevating me, and allowing me to surprise myself over and over again, ultimately giving me the confidence and the courage to try something new. I am forever grateful to you both for your fierce advocacy and steadfast leadership.
The hardest part of closing this chapter is saying goodbye to my once-in-a-lifetime team – Jenna, Mackenzie, Adam, Andrew, Hunter, Jordan, Erica. Thank you for taking a chance and joining me for this wild ride. Together we built something so special that has driven remarkable business results, but has also left a remarkable imprint on my heart.
Brené says, “daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time”. If that’s not a mantra for this week, I don’t know what is. I’m off to my next great adventure with an incredible company doing important work alongside a great group of people, and many old friends. Thanks to each of you for the role you played in getting me there.

4 年What a shock! Not in a good way... You made a huge impression on me, as you clearly did on so many, and I had truly hoped to have many more chances to spend time with you, laugh with you and get to know you better... Wherever you go and whatever you do, you'll be the pinnacle, setting a bar that others will one day hope to reach... Thank you for not only imparting some of your skill and wisdom, but also for your obvious desire to help others grow and excel. And thank you for being real, there's fewer and fewer people with the guts to be... Hope to connect again sometime! All the best!
