"...empowering and full of wisdom..."

Allie is a Harvard-trained American author, board director and advisor, and former award-winning leader and writing advisor, who has advised 1000+ organizations on leadership, excellence, value creation, and resilience. As a child, she survived a violent personal attack during political massacres that left hundreds of others dead, and then years of devastating fallout thereafter. Inspired by those events, as well as decades of her work as a builder and leader of innovative organizations, her writing explores the nature of reality, perception, and beliefs, and our ability to shape them to live more positive and resilient lives. Her writing touches on topics related to mindsets and ancient wisdom, and also draws from study of both science and leadership during her graduate school days and throughout her career, and study with acclaimed eastern and western philosophers.

Allie is the author of the modern tale of resilience and transformation against extraordinary odds, July and Everything After, which became a top release and bestseller. Previously Allie's writing was selected for various award-winning and other publications, and her opinion piece published in Pulitzer prize-winning Sun Sentinel. She also has been a contributor to academic, trade, and policy publications. Allie has been an invited speaker at numerous ideas festivals, universities, conferences, and more, and an expert panelist for WNYC (The Brian Lehrer Show). She has been awarded and recognized for her leadership, work, and writing by several organizations including Amazon, Harvard, Asia Society, and more.
