About

As a Vice President of Software Engineering at Broadridge Financial Solutions, I am leading teams that design and deliver technology solutions at scale. My role extends beyond projects and processes. On any given day, I could be facilitating leadership discussions, reviewing delivery progress, contributing to architecture decisions, or helping shape long-term strategy. At the heart of it all is a simple goal: creating an environment where teams can do their best work by removing obstacles, enabling collaboration, and aligning engineering efforts with business priorities. What I find most fulfilling is investing in people. I am passionate about mentoring engineering managers and senior developers, helping them discover their strengths, build confidence, and take the next step in their careers. Leadership, to me, is not just about delivering outcomes—it's about empowering others to succeed. Looking back, the journey from a small-town girl with big aspirations to a technology leader has reinforced my belief that growth comes from embracing opportunities, staying resilient through setbacks, and never losing sight of the people who make success possible. I continue to learn every day, and I remain excited about what the future holds—for technology, for teams, and for the leaders we are all capable of becoming.
