Allie is a survivor, practitioner, experimenter, award-winning leader and author, who's been deep in the trenches advising 1000s of organizations, executives, and young professionals on leadership, value creation, and resilience in the age of uncertainty. 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 and high performing teams and 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 science and leadership and ancient wisdom, including study with acclaimed eastern and western philosophers, during her graduate school days and throughout her career.
Allie is the author of the survival adventure and modern tale of resilience and transformation against extraordinary odds, July and Everything After, which became a long standing top release, and was named a First Horizon Award Finalist, a distinction presented by the Eric Hoffer Book Awards to celebrate superior debut works, and a Hawthorne Prize Finalist, and named to the Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List. 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, and was formerly a global writing advisor at Amazon. Allie has been an invited speaker to ideas festivals, universities, conferences, company retreats, board retreats, young professionals groups, tv, radio, and more, and an expert panelist for WNYC (The Brian Lehrer Show). She has been awarded and recognized for her leadership and work by several organizations including Amazon, Harvard, Asia Society, and more.
