Business Development & Marketing Consultant
As the professional services industry continues to evolve and become more competitive, doing great work is no longer enough. Professionals that remain current with new technologies, products, best practices, and make a commitment to becoming lifelong learners will succeed. By increasing awareness, creating actionable steps, and providing accountability, I establish and articulate a clear vision for development processes that help students, associates, partners, firms, and organizations strengthen relationships, prioritize projects, and plot a course that will grow their businesses. I work with professionals to focus their business development and marketing efforts.

        Renee stunned me with both her in-depth familiarity with new social media, and with her ability to instantly and creatively apply her knowledge to different scenarios I tossed out to her.  Renee opened my eyes to sophisticated, professional, dignified ways to market my services as an arbitration consultant.
