About

Strategic thinking, grounded in delivery.

Draped silk still life

After more than a decade at Accenture as a Technology Delivery Manager, I founded Maison Edit to create a more personal and focused approach to strategic advisory.

Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of leadership, technology, operations and execution. I have helped teams navigate complexity, align stakeholders and move large initiatives forward.

Maison Edit brings this experience to startups and medium-sized companies that need a trusted partner to help shape the direction, build the structure and support the journey from planning to delivery.

I created Maison Edit to work more closely with the clients I believe in, develop long-term relationships and focus on industries that inspire me, including fashion, beauty, lifestyle, retail and commerce.
