Executive Coaching, Events, and Resources

I’m qualified to coach executives because my work combines organizational psychology with real-world leadership experience. I’ve completed the Groupworks Executive Coaching Training program and am actively accumulating hours toward ICF certification, so my practice is grounded in the latest evidence-based executive coaching methods. I’ve worked with leaders navigating promotions, first-time executive roles, organizational change, and high-stakes decisions. I understand the pressures executives face — unclear priorities, competing demands, political dynamics, and decisions that impact teams and business outcomes. My coaching is structured, practical, and outcome-focused. Executives leave sessions with clarity on priorities, frameworks for decision-making, strategies for stakeholder influence, and measurable progress in how they lead. I help bridge the gap between insight and action so leaders can perform confidently under pressure.

Leadership is hard work. Leading in a dynamic, high stakes environment is even harder. The practices and skills that got you here won’t get you where you want to be. Much like elite athletes and performers, the most effective leaders get coached. And they get coached by elite coaches. I provide top-tier coaching to high-impact executives and operators who want to perform at a higher level. I leverage my 15+ years of experience as an operator and executive where I built some of the top companies in the world, including DoorDash, Neighbor, and LinkedIn. My coaching is customized to meet the needs of each client and addresses the whole person, not just their work self. I use a combination of best-in-class assessments, quantitative and qualitative 360-degree feedback, and intense inquiry to help clients achieve outstanding business outcomes and live an intentional life. Common areas of coaching include: * Strengthening your ability to succeed during periods of complexity, doubt, and uncertainty * Building confidence in your ability to deliver results, take calculated risks, and build trust * Improving essential leadership skills including setting expectations, giving feedback, prioritization, accountability, and communicating effectively * Discovering your blindspots, developing greater self-awareness and enhancing your ability to emotionally regulate * Balancing competing demands and priorities at work and in life What you get from me: * Hard-won perspective from an executive who’s sat in boardrooms, made the hard decisions, and built industry-changing companies * Access to my world-class network; I’ll connect you with functional experts as needed * Access to my “best of” library, including the top templates, frameworks, models, and content I’ve created and curated over the last 15+ years * An unbiased partner who’ll create a personalized development plan that delivers results * A coach who always has your back but won’t hesitate to call BS as needed

Hi there, I'm Brian. I've been trained at the Center for Executive Coaching, and have worked with leaders at every level to help them create culture, define and implement strategic initiatives, and take consistent action to become and achieve. You have all the information you could ever want at your fingertips; what you likely need to get to the next level is a partner outside your organization to help you tactically apply what you already know. That's where I come in. As a leader, you are the message. So what do the people around you hear? I work with you on your pressing issues so that you send the message you want to send by refining who you are. My approach is centered around asking powerful questions that reveal truths and help you navigate your unique challenges. In addition to my private practice, I have institutional experience from my roles at Crumbl Cookies and at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in preparing individuals for strategic roles in a global context. Let's work together to elevate your leadership potential and drive success in your career. Reach out to start your journey today!

With over 30 years of experience in data and more than a decade as a data leader, I’ve honed my skills in building high-performing teams and guiding professionals to achieve their career goals. As Head of Data Science and now Chief AI and Data Officer, I’ve led transformative data initiatives and cultivated a leadership approach that empowers others to excel. I specialize in coaching executives and aspiring leaders to reach new heights in their careers. I’ve guided a data analyst to become a Head of Business Intelligence, a data engineer to rise to Principal Data Engineer, a junior data scientist to transition into a senior data scientist, and a data engineer to achieve the position of Senior Director of their department. Beyond one-on-one coaching, I’ve contributed to organizational growth as a board member, advising a financial institution on navigating challenging economic conditions while maintaining responsible growth strategies. Having reviewed thousands of resumes and conducted over 200 interviews, I bring deep insight into what it takes to thrive in competitive and evolving fields. Helping professionals at all levels—especially data leaders—reach their potential is my passion. I take immense satisfaction in mentoring others and enabling them to step confidently into their next career challenge. If that sounds like you, let's connect!

As a coach with over 25 years of experience in executive search and leadership advisory across multiple industries and regions, I bring a wealth of knowledge in identifying and nurturing top talent at the highest levels of leadership. My expertise has been shaped through working globally with Private Equity-backed firms, large corporations, and high-growth companies, where I’ve helped leaders navigate complex challenges and unlock their potential for success. I have personally led numerous board-level placements and talent strategies, giving me firsthand insight into the qualities and skills that drive effective leadership. My approach is grounded in both strategic thinking and a deep understanding of human motivation, enabling me to guide clients through practical solutions that lead to lasting results. Additionally, my international experience, combined with fluency in five languages, has given me a unique perspective on leadership in a global context. I’m also committed to ethical leadership, having served as a Justice of the Peace and as a board member for a social mobility charity, roles that reinforce the importance of fairness, integrity, and responsibility—values I integrate into my coaching. Through my work, I’ve developed a strong network of industry specialists and a deep understanding of the challenges that leaders face today, making me well-equipped to support and coach individuals who are striving for personal and professional growth.

My executive coaching is about leveraging complexity rather than trying to solve it or run from it. Let's expand what's possible for you. I specialize in helping ambitious people identify and overturn limiting assumptions and beliefs to make way for change. I've coached leaders through overcoming imposter syndrome, risk/change intolerance, and fear of failure. My clients are high-performing leaders who want more 'freedom' - often this means considering moves that involve risk: holding space for a brave organizational conversations, major career pivots, walking away from prestigious opportunities, or choosing a less “safe” approach to leading others. My approach is rooted in established frameworks—Adult Developmental Theory, Adaptive Leadership, and Immunity to Change, among others. I've received training in leading and managing change from Harvard Kennedy School, Minds at Work, and Cultivating Leadership, and I am currently pursuing my PCC-level ICF coaching certification in leadership coaching.

I help leaders cut through noise, make confident decisions, and show up with clarity and impact when it matters most. My coaching blends practical strategy with honest, grounded conversation that way you are not just reflecting, you’re making measurable progress. Whether you’re stepping into a bigger role, navigating organizational complexity, or trying to lead with more influence and less burnout, I bring a structured but flexible approach tailored to you. My goal isn’t just to help you succeed in your current role, it’s to help you become the kind of leader people trust, follow, and remember.
