More About SJM
The Accidental Consultant
In 2010, it was time for me to move on ~ after over a decade ~ from my work as the founding executive of a non-profit strategy organization (click here for information about my background). Wanting to take time to explore next steps, I jumped at the opportunity to take on some short-term consulting projects. What I found was an exciting and rewarding career partnering with executives who had great vision but too little bandwidth to move from idea to implementation rapidly.

What's In a Name?
SJM is named in memory of three individuals who had a profound impact on my life: my brother Scott, who followed his dreams and inspired me to do the same; my stepfather Jay, who built his own business and showed me what it takes to succeed; and my grandmother Molly, who believed I could do anything.
