Your Strategic Partner in Turning Challenges into Growth
I understand how overwhelming it can be when growth stalls, teams aren’t aligned, and the future feels uncertain. As a certified Pinnacle Business Guide with two decades of executive leadership and management experience, I help CEOs bring clarity, build strong leadership, and implement proven systems that unlock sustainable growth.
The Pinnacle approach changes the way you view and operate your business on a daily basis. It helps you to build a foundation of A-Players that live your core values, create winning playbooks, and drive clarity and alignment around your purpose and goals. If I could change one thing, I would have started working with Pinnacle earlier.

About CoreLucent Strategies
With over 20 years of executive leadership and management experience, I have successfully guided companies through multimillion-dollar transformations, expanded real estate portfolios more than fivefold, tripled investor bases, and restructured organizations to achieve their most profitable years.
Beyond the metrics, I have coached and mentored leaders through times of change, challenge, and meaningful growth—impacting not just the bottom line, but the people behind it.
I’m excited to partner with entrepreneurs and senior leadership teams who are ready to scale intentionally and courageously, helping them clarify vision and build something truly exceptional. I’m relentless in my belief that leadership done well transforms companies from the inside out, I bring both clear, purposeful strategy and genuine empathy to every engagement – because I’ve lived it myself.
For leaders seeking a Guide who understands the pressure of running a business—and who knows how to create structure, clarity, and momentum—I would be honored to help you move forward with confidence and build what’s next.
