I help accessibility leaders move from reactive chaos to programs that actually scale. I founded Simply Accessible, grew it to 30 people, and sold it to Level Access. Then spent three years as VP of Accessibility and Inclusive Design at Salesforce, embedding inclusive design across their entire platform and leading accessibility strategy for their AI features. Now I consult independently: Compass work for strategic direction, Flywheel work for building momentum. I don't do audits. I work with leaders who are stuck. Ask me about building accessibility programs at scale, getting executive buy-in, inclusive design for AI, and moving from compliance to inclusion-first culture.
