SVP, Technology Transformation, Informa Markets

50/50 leader & team player, 25% nerd, 75% geek - - 100% gamer, 100% nature lover, 100% mom.  Too many parts?...Nah, plenty of room to do more!

I'm a lifetime learner, with an undergrad in Psychology, then Business and IT Management, a Master's in Enterprise Architecture, and now actively pursuing my Doctorate in Technology from Purdue University. I'm an avid gamer - - video and board games, a mother of a son at Law School at the University of Chicago and have been adopted by two fabulous fur-babies at home.  On the professional front, I'm working on changing the digital game for Informa Markets as their SVP of Technology Transformation for North America. Part of my role is in helping to create new innovative perspectives for the future of human-led tech-enabled event and information management.  While these diverse interests and high volume of activity has led to an unfortunate addiction to all things caffeinated, it has also allowed me to learn and grow in ways I never imagined.
