Managing Director
Deloitte LLP
Q: Tell us about yourself. Are you from Huntsville?
Alabama has always been my true home. I was born and raised in a small rural town in south Alabama and went to college at Birmingham-Southern. After graduation, I moved to Washington, D.C. to start my career in consulting, not knowing it would be my forever passion. While in D.C., I met my husband, Jamie, and started raising a family. Alabama called us home in 2013 and we excitedly relocated to Huntsville permanently. Two more kiddos and a decade later, we consider ourselves Huntsvillians through and through.
Q: Tell us about Deloitte. What kind of work do you do?
We are professional problem solvers who help clients tackle challenges and achieve their missions. As an organization Deloitte is a leading global provider of audit and assurance, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, tax, and related services. While we are well-known for our audit services, more than 50 percent of our business consists of consulting services.
Our Huntsville professionals primarily serve clients within our Government and Public Services (GPS) practice and specifically in the Defense, Security, and Justice sector – which includes all branches of the military, agencies of the Department of Defense, and the intelligence community, as well as the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice . We have worked with clients to help them achieve complex IT transformation efforts; manage AI strategy, governance, and implementation; and provide data and analytics that help clients enhance decision making and advance mission outcomes.
Q: What would you like others to know about your business?
Deloitte professionals leverage cutting-edge technology and their experience to construct future-forward solutions for our clients.
Deloitte invested in Huntsville to expand our GPS impact about 10 years ago. Our Huntsville footprint now boasts more than 200 professionals. We’re proud to collaborate with important institutions across the region – including the Ala- bama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE), the Huntsville/Mad- ison County Chamber, and many local nonprofits. We participate in Deloitte’s annual impact day – a day of service – by volunteering at sites across the city.
Q: What does Deloitte get from its Chamber membership?
Our membership in the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber has accelerated our ability to get involved with the community and engage in impactful initia- tives alongside our daily business. As a Chamber member, we have worked to build strong relationships within the community and identify new ways we can contribute to its growth.
Q: Why do you support HREGI?
Madison County has shown remarkable growth in the past several years. With that expansion comes many opportunities and challenges. Our participation in HREGI allows us to engage in important issues at the forefront of the region’s economic growth and get Deloitte more involved in the community. The Huntsville/Madison County Chamber has been a strong collaborator in helping us identify ways to keep making a positive impact on our incredible community.
