Director of Learning and Performance

Starcite, Lanyon, Cvent • Full-time

May 2003 - May 2018 • 15 yrs

During the Vista-led merger that formed Lanyon, I led transformative learning initiatives amid major shifts in training, documentation, and personnel. I launched Learning Labs in four cities, transitioned legacy programs into agile, just-in-time formats, and voiced engaging training content that boosted learner connection. These innovations laid the groundwork for scalable success—validated by Lanyon’s ultimate merger with Cvent and the enduring impact of our streamlined approach.
