When growth changes the work faster than systems evolve, performance suffers.

I help organizations strengthen the people systems that support execution; clarifying expectations, enabling managers, and aligning talent strategy to business goals so growth remains sustainable.

CAREER COMMUNIQUÉ: WHERE HISTORY MEETS STRATEGY

The future of work is written in its past—and most career advice ignores this.

Every week in Career Communiqué, I decode workplace patterns through the lens of labor history. How did workers build power? What strategies have proven sustainable? Where do we see the same dynamics playing out today?

These aren't academic essays—they're practical insights for navigating your career with clarity and context.
