My Story
Hi! I’m Ren.
I’m an innovation specialist with over 10 years of global experience.
I make big, scary, transformation projects fun and exciting!
It has to start somewhere.
The Genesis
My first, and most valuable transformation project was my mother’s career. At 49 she had her life upended. It was time to make a big shift. I set her on the path to becoming self-employed for the first time in her life. Over 15 years later she’s still growing her own sustainable business.
My Values
