I founded Core Line with one mission: To help leaders and their teams reset. For too long, we've mistaken "busyness" for progress and "polite silence" for alignment. It's time to fix the human connection at the heart of our organizations. As the architect of the C.O.R.E. Method (Clarity, Ownership, Relationships, Execution), I personally guide leadership teams through a fundamental shift. This isn't a one-day workshop or a new software. It's a "Reset" that rebuilds the foundational trust, clarity, and accountability required for lasting, measurable success. My work focuses on: Helping teams break free from ambiguity and find true Clarity. Building cultures of psychological safety where Ownership can thrive. Forging authentic Relationships capable of productive conflict. Connecting this C.O.R.E. to breakthrough Execution and results.

As the Vice President of Technology, I reported directly to the CEO, driving strategy, transformation, and vision at Debt Cleanse. I played a pivotal role in repositioning the company as a technology-driven consumer brand. Establishing and scaling a wholly owned technology hub in the Philippines, I led technology teams supporting crucial partnerships, resulting in the company becoming the world's fastest-growing Loan Officers company with a staggering 900% growth in under four months.

In my role as Director of Digital PM at Young Living, I revolutionized their billion-dollar market through Digital Transformation. Recognizing the underwhelming conversion rate of web traffic, I led teams to develop an E-commerce platform that remains in use today. Through optimization, data-driven strategies, cutting-edge systems, and the dismantling of silos, we achieved an impressive 4%-6% conversion rate.

In my capacity as VP at ProcessModel, I applied strategic leadership skills to orchestrate and lead global teams across diverse functions, geographies, and cultures.
