She has a unique blend of technical, business, project management, and leadership skills that allow her to reach audiences of all levels and identify appropriate practices to employ in the organization to maximize efficiency and productivity.

One of Courtney’s favorite things is seeing those “Aha” moments when individuals, teams, and leaders begin to realize how much more potential they can unlock once they understand why work isn’t flowing the right way and keep an open mind to the cultural and personal change needed for success. She’s in love with seeing enterprise-level transformations succeed within technology teams and beyond. It all starts by strategizing with executives who have the vision, passion, and ‘courage’ to make real transformations happen!
