Message From Principal

Independently focusing on business efficiencies

Clarity Strategic Partners was born from my 25 year journey of experiences, relationships and quite frankly frustrations with the industry that I love. Over my career I have had the privilege of successfully leading talented teams in sales, implementation, client service, human resources, and benefit procurement to name just a few, all with a consultative mindset. It was throughout these experiences that I began to see an all-too-common trend of organizations settling on solutions that did not address all their needs.
