Leadership Coaching, Events, and Resources

I specialize in developing structured leadership development plans for individuals, teams and organizations, with years spent in management and leadership development roles. At Stanford, I ran the Center for Leadership Development and Research at the Graduate School of Business (GSB), and later oversaw the Stanford MSx Program, the GSB's mid-career business degree. I had responsibilities for implementing the leadership curriculum in both the Stanford MBA and MSx programs, managed the school's first in-house leadership coaching staff, taught a Stanford GSB course ('Leading with Agility'), and co-developed the 'Stanford LEAP 360' leadership assessment tool that is used in Stanford Executive Education programs. I co-founded the LOWkeynotes program, the premier public speaking program at Stanford, to help MBA students develop executive presence, influence and communication skills. I launched the first diversity-focused GSB Executive Education program, the Advanced Leadership Program for Asian-American Executives (ALP). And I was responsible for recruiting, admitting and advising roughly 80 Stanford Sloan Fellows each year--global leaders who would spend a year at Stanford to study business and leadership in preparation for senior leadership roles. Prior to Stanford, I oversaw the Fellows and Senior Fellows Program at the American Leadership Forum, where I worked with C-level executives from corporate, government and nonprofit organizations in Silicon Valley to develop a dynamic regional community leadership network. This included executives from Netflix, HP, Applied Materials, Mayfield Fund, Adobe, Etrade, Agilent, Cisco, as well as mayors, judges, museum directors and other civic leaders. And in other roles, primarily as a consultant or entrepreneur, I've had to not only influence strategy, but also assure that my clients and partners got the support and coaching required to be successful, at varying levels within their organizations. I cannot say I've always been successful at each step. I've had my stumbles, which has been an important part of my own education. While I've taught leadership, I tend to think of myself as a student first, leading with curiosity rather than conviction. I've found that such an approach, avoiding judgment, is more likely to yield insights quickly, especially when working with clients.

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.

Making the move from individual contributor to a people leader was one of the more challenging career transitions I've made, and I'm all the better for it. I've worked with senior professionals and those just starting their careers at Google, LinkedIn, and a smaller startup, and I've come across many frameworks and perspectives (alongside successes and challenges) that I can share with you in hopes that you can learn and be a stronger and more confident leader in your organization. Leadership is about full ownership, and I can't wait to be part of your career journey and development as a leader.

I bring 15 years of experience as a behavioral scientist, professor, and founder to the challenge of leadership development. I trained at Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and Emory. So, my practice is built at the intersection of clinical rigor and the high-stakes reality of organizational leadership. I have partnered with universities, startups, healthcare systems, and global consulting firms. My approach is data-informed. I have developed enterprise-wide programs that increased client retention by 15 percent and reduced operational training overhead by 30 percent through scalable, virtual-first delivery. My work in academia as Adjunct Faculty George Washington and Duke Universities has allowed me to mentor hundreds of professionals through the complexities of career evolution. I bring this same evidence-based framework to our one-on-one coaching. This is not just leadership advice. We will identify the friction in your systems, align your strategy with your goals, and build the infrastructure you need to execute with absolute confidence. Let us get to work.

I spent much of my 30-year career learning how to lead people, progressing from artist to manager, department head and eventually Managing Director. I’ve directly led teams of 45+ people and been responsible for businesses with 100–200+ employees. Along the way, I learned that leadership isn’t simply about having authority — it’s about creating the conditions for other people to succeed. As Head of The Mill’s New York 2D department, I focused heavily on 1:1s, career development, hiring, communication, team cohesion and culture. During my five years leading the department, we achieved a 98.2% employee retention rate. Later, as Managing Director at Harbor Picture Company, I applied many of the same principles and helped grow the business by 42% in three years. I understand the transition from being good at your job to suddenly being responsible for other people, as well as the very different challenges that come with senior leadership. Today, I combine that experience with professional coach training as an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and iPEC Certified Professional Coach (CPC), helping leaders think through the challenges, decisions and responsibilities that come with leading people.
