A first early knowledge site, SMU Cox School

The thought leadership captured in the university’s research is utilized in many strategic ways. Serving as editor, I’m identifying assets that become outreach, communicate value and advance learning— on point and on mission. There is no substitute for committing to and doing the work of thought leadership, a valuable part of an organization. And the work has morphed across two decades.

Translating ideas, DCEO

“Driven by intellectual curiosity, she operates in a left brain-right brain world. She is wildly creative but equally as passionate about unearthing data to confirm (or disprove) her ideas…

…It was important to keep things at a high level of sophistication and give readers the value that only she can deliver. She spent months doing research and interviews before fitting the puzzle pieces together.

Strategic Roles with Impact: A case Study

From the late 90s onward, I worked between the CEO and executive-level CMO, essentially in a strategy and data analytics role in financial services products and national marketing. The products were complex, expensive and required considerable education to market and sell. Through R&D efforts, I helped creatively translate findings into product development, business strategy and successful integrated, marketing campaigns. This early thought leadership work was put uniquely into action through 2000-2010 in a large family-owned business that partnered with major insurers such as Allianz, Travelers and others. From of this knowledge, an evolving white paper that spanned ~20 years, was presented to the largest pension funds in the world. I still own domains specific to the work related to portfolio development. Since then, other domains have been collected.
