Hi, I'm Christina

I've learned a lot from my twenty-plus-years career leading talent acquisition for Fortune 500 iconic global brands - think 🍟🍔 🥤🏪🏨🛎️📱 Recruiting engines I've architected facilitate more than one-million hires a year still today.

About ten of those years were very intense. Very high-stakes, high-visibility and high-impact. I have seen things and experienced things that now lead me to work differently and live differently. And encourage others, meeting them where they are. My scar tissue now serves as a competitive advantage.

In the recruiting realm, I'm bringing Wall Street to Main Street with Accelerated Talent, a niche talent advisory firm I founded where we partner with small and midsize businesses and franchise organizations in the hospitality, restaurant, lifestyle and luxury sectors.

But behind the business metrics? Real humans. Real humans, like me and you. Which is why I also coach high-performing professionals who are:

Navigating ever-increasing demands in work and life, and about to burnout
Facing a major career or life inflection point
Ready to lead differently—and sustainably

Through The Aligned Leader, I guide high-performers to recalibrate their energy, reconnect with purpose, and sustain peak performance—without sacrificing their sanity, health, or identity.

What I Believe:

Burnout isn’t the cost of doing business.
The best leaders stay curious, candid, and quietly powerful.
The future of work is human-centered—and AI-enhanced.
We are here to make the world a better place. This includes our workplaces. Virtual or brick-and-mortar, work can be our mission-field and the people we work with and lead deserve our best.
To be our best, for ourselves, our family and our colleagues, we must take care of ourselves. With no less intentionality and rigor as we run our business.

If any of this resonates with you —I’d love to connect.
