our story.
LumaStrat was founded on a simple belief: the challenges businesses face may be similar, but the right solutions are never one-size-fits-all.
We connect business strategy, marketing, operations, and human behavior to see the bigger picture—identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, and developing solutions tailored to each organization.
Our approach is thoughtful, practical, and always people-first. Because meaningful progress doesn't come from following a playbook. It comes from understanding the business in front of us.
A different kind of consulting firm.
With more than 20 years of experience in strategic leadership, marketing, and organizational performance, I've built my career around understanding what drives businesses forward—and the people behind their success.
My experience spans executive leadership, board-level strategic planning, marketing and growth strategy, and operational improvement across both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Combined with a Doctorate of Business Administration and my experience as a United States Marine Corps officer, this background has shaped an approach that brings together analytical thinking, disciplined execution, and a deep understanding of human behavior.
I've always believed that even the most sophisticated business strategy is only as effective as the people who bring it to life. Understanding how people think, what motivates their decisions, and how they respond to change is fundamental to developing strategies that actually work. Whether we're talking about customers, employees, or organizational leaders, human behavior influences every aspect of business performance.
I founded LumaStrat to bring these disciplines together. Rather than approaching challenges through a single lens or applying predetermined solutions, I look at the entire organization—its strategy, marketing, operations, and, most importantly, its people—to uncover opportunities and develop solutions tailored to its unique circumstances.
My philosophy is simple: People first. Strategy always.
Because the best solutions don't just make sense on paper. They make sense for the people and organizations they're designed to serve.

what we believe.
Behind every business decision, customer interaction, and organizational change are people. We believe the most effective strategies are built on understanding what motivates them, how they make decisions, and what influences their behavior.
That understanding, combined with clear strategic thinking and practical execution, is what turns good ideas into meaningful progress
People-first strategy drives real results.
