Leadership Coaching, Events, and Resources

I bring 25 years of real-world executive leadership experience to my coaching, developed while leading complex operations and large-scale organizations as a U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Officer. Throughout my career, I led teams of up to 360 personnel, managed programs and assets exceeding $2B, and advised senior leaders at the 4-star/CEO level—making high-consequence decisions in environments defined by uncertainty, pressure, and constant change. My leadership experience spans global operations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, where success depended on strategic clarity, disciplined execution, effective communication, and the ability to develop strong, resilient teams. WAB Resume v2 What sets my coaching apart is that I didn’t just lead organizations—I built leaders. As a Commanding Officer and senior executive, I designed and delivered leadership development programs that improved performance, strengthened culture, and produced promotion rates above fleet averages. Today, as an iPEC-certified Executive Coach and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, I combine that operational leadership foundation with professional coaching methodology to help clients think more clearly, manage their energy, navigate complexity, and lead with confidence and purpose. I partner with leaders who want more than tactical advice—they want the mindset, self-awareness, and presence required to perform at a higher level and create lasting impact.

Got a difficult boss? Struggling to influence without authority? Leading a team for the first time? I help ambitious professionals navigate the people side of career growth: managing up, building influence, handling workplace politics, leading teams, and preparing for promotions. Over the past year, I've coached dozens of professionals from organizations including Deloitte, PayPal, Liberty Mutual, The Hershey Company, as well as mid-market companies and startups. My clients have successfully earned promotions, transitioned into leadership roles, improved relationships with managers, increased their influence across teams, and navigated challenging workplace situations with greater confidence. Before becoming a coach, I spent 20+ years in leadership roles at Hershey, Ahold, and Cracker Barrel, where I led teams, developed leaders, and made hiring and promotion decisions. My clients have earned promotions, landed stretch assignments, successfully managed difficult bosses, built stronger teams, increased their visibility with senior leaders, and developed the leadership skills needed to advance their careers. My role is to help you get there faster.

I bring over a decade of experience working with senior leaders at Microsoft and in institutional governance, with deep expertise in organizational design, leadership development, and strategic HR. At Microsoft, I’ve coached VPs through critical transitions, guided leadership teams through post-acquisition integration, and helped executives gain clarity on complex decisions amid competing priorities. I’ve also served as Chair of the Bowdoin College Alumni Council and its Diversity Committee, leading governance and strategic decision-making at the institutional level. My approach is grounded in real-world experience with power dynamics, organizational complexity, and the isolation that comes with senior leadership. I specialize in creating space for leaders to surface unseen blockers, strengthen their decision-making, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I hold certifications as a Prosci Change Practitioner, OKR Coach, and Agile Scrum Master, and I bring practical tools from organizational psychology and adult development to my work.

I've managed teams from 10 to 90+ people across the US, Latin America, and India. I've navigated reorgs, built engineering cultures from scratch, and made hard calls on people, priorities, and budgets at Goldman Sachs and Disney. I know what it takes to lead at scale because I do it every day. I'm trained in Co-Active coaching and I work with tech leaders on the stuff that doesn't show up in a performance review: executive presence, decision-making under pressure, managing up, building trust across functions, and figuring out what kind of leader you actually want to be. Practical and human, not theoretical.

I bring more than 15+ of Fortune 500 experience across leadership, strategy, finance, commercial operations, and organizational transformation. I currently serve as a Managing Director at GE HealthCare and have held leadership roles across GE HealthCare and GE Capital, with earlier experience at Amazon. Throughout my career, I have led high-impact initiatives, worked directly with senior executives, developed teams and emerging leaders, and helped professionals navigate career growth, organizational change, and increasingly complex leadership responsibilities. I also bring an academic perspective as a Kellogg MBA and Harvard Master’s in Finance, and I have provided professional development and training to graduate students at Northwestern Kellogg and Harvard. My coaching is practical and highly individualized: I help clients strengthen executive presence, navigate career transitions, communicate more effectively with senior leadership, build influence, and develop a clear strategy for reaching the next level of their careers.

I bring more than 25 years of HR leadership, employee relations, labor relations, and talent experience across major organizations including Cognizant, Barclays, Merck, Honeywell, and Warner Music Group. Throughout my career, I have coached managers, advised senior leaders, supported leadership transitions, and helped professionals navigate complex workplace challenges including organizational change, performance issues, restructurings, communication gaps, stakeholder management, conflict resolution, inclusion, and high-stakes employee situations. My leadership coaching is grounded in real-world business experience. I help managers, emerging leaders, and senior professionals strengthen their communication, executive presence, decision-making, confidence, and ability to lead through change. As a Black woman who has led HR, employee relations, and labor relations work inside complex corporate environments, I also bring a grounded perspective on inclusive leadership, workplace equity, visibility, and the realities underrepresented professionals often navigate while advancing their careers. Because I have sat inside the rooms where talent, leadership, and workforce decisions are made, I help clients understand how they are being perceived, where they may be under-positioned, and how to lead with greater clarity, credibility, and impact.

I’m a Senior Manager and Technical Program Leader turned leadership coach with 15+ years of experience leading high-impact, cross-functional teams in tech. At Atlassian, I led AI- and data-driven programs across Engineering, Product, Data Science, and Operations that reduced customer friction, uncovered multi-million–dollar usability improvements, and delivered over $7M in support cost avoidance. I built and managed global teams, translated complex insights into clear strategic roadmaps, and helped senior stakeholders collaborate effectively across time zones and functions. Today, I bring that same rigor, empathy, and clarity to coaching high-achieving women in tech who are ready to be seen, valued, and promoted for the impact they’re already delivering. I’m a Socratic Coaching Academy Certified Coach and specialize in helping women navigate visibility in male-dominated environments, develop executive presence, and lead with authority without burning out. My approach is rooted in modern cognitive psychology frameworks, helping clients understand how their thinking shapes their leadership, so they can advocate for their work, communicate their impact in business terms, and show up as the confident leaders their roles demand.

Leadership has been the common thread throughout my career—from serving as a U.S. Navy Captain to leading operations in the private sector. Along the way, I’ve learned that effective leadership isn’t about rank or title; it’s about building trust, making sound decisions, developing others, and adapting to change. I’m currently working toward full ICF accreditation and intentionally seeking opportunities to coach leaders at different stages of their careers. Whether you’re preparing for your first management role, leading an established team, or working through a difficult leadership challenge, my goal is to help you think more clearly, develop your own leadership approach, and leave each conversation with greater confidence and clarity.
