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.
Alignd was formed to help organizations get clear about what they do and why do it beyond profit alone. As the world has evolved, so too has the opportunity for businesses to both make money and improve the world.
Our purpose is to help businesses become more aligned around their purpose because we believe purpose-driven businesses can transform the way we work and the positive impact we can have on each other.
