Long gone are the days of honest conversations
I miss the days when family debates were alive—full of real engagement, curiosity, and the freedom to disagree without bitterness. We didn’t always need to

My Professional Journey
Many people know me for my work in one particular area of my life, but few are aware of the various roles and responsibilities that fill my days and keep me active. I’d like to share a bit about myself and my multifaceted professional journey.
I am currently an independent board director serving on the boards of GATX Corporation, Church Mutual Insurance Company, and UBS Trumbull Property Fund. In addition, I co-lead the Adam Timothy Group, a real estate agency business that advises buyers, sellers, and landlords, and also manages a portfolio of investment properties in North Carolina, Texas, and Mexico.
Previously, I served as the Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Cushman & Wakefield, where I retired after 8 years. Prior to that, I held similar roles at Aon Corporation and Aviva plc. My expertise is in building teams, driving change, and connecting amazing people to achieve great things together. I have been privileged to serve on the boards of 1871 and CREtech.
In addition to my professional roles, I am dedicated to sharing life lessons, teaching as a professor of practice at Washington University and on the faculty of the Stonier Graduate School of the American Bankers Association. I also speak at multiple organizations throughout the year on topics of leadership, diversity, and authentic relationships.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Finance and International Business from Washington University, an MBA from Wharton, and a Corporate Director Certificate from Harvard. This foundation has provided me with the analytical and strategic skills essential for navigating the complex landscapes of business and real estate.
I thrive during periods of inflection points. I enjoy helping individuals, families, organizations, and companies navigate change to chart the strongest course possible. I combine my love for connecting people with my passion for analysis, transformation, and negotiation to excel in real estate, in the board room, and beyond.
Throughout my career, I’ve always been driven by a desire to help others succeed. Whether it’s guiding a family through the complexities of a real estate transaction, advising a company on strategic decisions, or mentoring the next generation of leaders, my goal is to make a meaningful impact. I believe that by fostering authentic relationships and embracing diversity, we can create stronger, more resilient communities and organizations.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how we can navigate change and achieve great things together.

It’s not about us. It’s about them.
I’ve said this so many times it’s getting old, but some people just don’t seem to listen—and maybe, if I’m honest, I don’t always take my own advice either. Here it is: it really doesn’t matter what you said, how you said it, or what you intended. What matters, if you truly care about the other person, is how they felt.
The Quiet Strength of Supporting Others
If you’re already a dedicated “Giver” who uplifts others, a heartfelt thank you for your contributions to the circle of support. For those who frequently receive such kindness, pause and ponder: Are you also extending a helping hand to others? Remember, even the smallest gestures of encouragement or acknowledgment can have a profound impact on someone’s life. Whether it’s a simple share, a kind message, or a valuable connection, each act of giving back holds immense significance.
