As the founder of Clocktower Advisors, I help organizations reduce risk and restore executive confidence in their online communities and digital workplaces. I act as a strategic partner and fractional leader for organizations that cannot afford for their digital investments to fail—specializing in identifying the hidden misalignments that lead to "strategic blindness" and wasted capital.
I have built Clocktower Advisors into a premier consultancy by delivering high-stakes results and unique market intelligence:
A Proven Track Record of Success: I have guided transformational strategies and governance reviews for world-class brands, including Activision, Facebook, SAP, Steelcase, and Medtronic. My work ensures that these organizations move past "compliance theater" and surface-level metrics toward resilient, high-trust systems.
The Governance Lens (Market Intelligence): My consulting is powered by a bird’s-eye view of the global community landscape. As President of the Community Consultants Collective (CCC) for the past three years, I track the platform shifts and methodology gaps that others miss. I don't just see one community; I see the systemic trends of the entire profession.
The Talent Journey (Human-Centered Vision): I believe communities are only as strong as the people—and incentives—behind them. My extensive background in executive and tech recruitment and my work as Co-founder of TalentLed allow me to fix the "broken process" of the talent journey. I understand the internal human incentives that dictate whether a community becomes a resilient asset or a strategic liability.
Because of this "risk-first" perspective, I am a sought-after voice on the intersection of community, governance, and business stability. I have appeared as a featured guest or host on more than 50 podcasts and livestreams, including On the Brink with Andi Simon and my own series, Talk About Your Community. I speak frequently on topics such as Community ROI, Governance as a Risk-Reduction Tool, the Impact of AI on Digital Spaces, and the Psychology of Safe Spaces at Scale.
Whether I am serving as a fractional strategist or conducting a high-stakes governance audit, my mission is the same: to prevent failure first, knowing that sustainable growth follows stability.
