2026 LCI Congress Co-Chair
“I’m honored and humbled to serve as co-chair for the 2026 LCI Congress conference in Atlanta, alongside Matt Bleakley. What excites me most is bringing people together across roles and perspectives to learn, connect, have some fun, and move our industry forward. Lean is ultimately about people—how we lead, how we learn, and how we build trust—and I’m energized to help create a 2026 LCI Congress experience that is practical, human, impactful, and memorable.”
