Amy has helped clients get into these companies:
With over 20 years of firsthand experience in marketing leadership roles at top tech companies like Google, TikTok, Intel, and Cisco, I transitioned into a full-time ICF certified leadership coach in January 2024. My own journey from individual contributor to senior exec gives me real insight into the challenges mid to senior, high achieving leaders like you face. As your coach, I help you get clear and own your strengths, and translate that into genuine confidence in how you lead. With my marketing background, I will help you frame and communicate that leadership presence clearly, whether you're building a path to promotion, or stepping into a bigger role. You get both real corporate leadership experience and coaching training in one. Let's get clear on your strengths, sharpen how you lead, and build your path to what's next.

About Amy
I am a woman of color. I am a mother of 2 girls. I am a wife. I am an immigrant. I am an introvert. I was a senior marketing leader in prominent tech companies, and I am now a business owner. I know what it's like to have real capabilities and still hesitate when opportunities arise, and that shapes how I understand my clients, and how I show up for them as a coach. I am proud of my accomplishments working for big-name tech companies (TikTok, Google, Cisco, Intel), steadily advancing as a marketing leader. That marketing background is now one of my biggest strengths as I serve my clients. My coaching expertise helps you discover and own your strengths, the value you bring to the table. My marketing background helps you frame, build, and communicate that story clearly, whether you're going for a promotion, building your leadership brand, or navigating a new role. From my years navigating from an individual contributor to a first line manager, then to a senior leader, I've discovered that my greatest fulfillment comes from helping my peers, leaders, reports, and mentees thrive through ✨ 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 (define their own version of success), 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 (build a clear path to get there), 𝗗𝗼 (take intentional & concrete action), and 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 (make sustained progress)!

Why do I coach?
I light up when I help others gain clarity on their vision, own their strengths, feel confident, and communicate all of that clearly to the people who matter, whether that's a manager, a hiring team, or a room full of stakeholders. I am grateful to have worked with incredible coaches along my own journey, who helped me design my life based on my own values, and what matters to ME. I now get to pay it forward. I get to bring both my corporate and marketing background and my coaching training to the table, helping clients gain clarity, own their strengths, and take intentional actions forward with confidence.
