Welcome to Alignd On Purpose
A consulting firm helping business owners define their purpose and align their organization around it.
In 2016, I quit my job in communications and marketing to pursue entreprenership. Six months later, I realized I didn’t have a clear picture of what I offered and who I served. My purpose wasn't clear. So, I hit pause and got to work.
I discovered a wave of business leaders who were passionate about serving their customers and changing the world. Brands that talked the talk and walked the walk. This changed everything for me. I discovered the value of brand purpose, the gift of purposeful leadership, and the magic that occurs when an organization is aligned around their purpose. I also found my purpose helping companies discover theirs.
Today, I'm the CEO of Alignd on Purpose and the host of The Corporate Purpose Podcast. I live in Columbus, Ohio, with my husband and two boys, and enjoy hockey, hiking, running and writing.
our purpose.
