Grow the business while evolving into the leader it needs. This 6-session coaching package is designed for founders and founder-CEOs navigating the leadership demands of growth and scale in an early-stage company.

Partnership From Time In the Trenches With Founders as an Operator
I’m a Chief Human Resources Officer, Executive & Leadership Coach, and Board Advisor with more than 25 years of experience working alongside CEOs and senior leadership teams. My career has been built inside complex organizations, supporting leaders through growth, transformation, and high-stakes decision making. I’ve led global people and culture work across scaling companies and enterprise environments, with deep experience in organizational design, executive leadership dynamics, M&A integration, and large-scale change. I understand how leadership decisions land inside organizations because I’ve been accountable for making them—and for navigating their impact over time. That operating background shapes how I coach. I bring a pragmatic, business-literate perspective, strong pattern recognition, and an ability to quickly understand context, power dynamics, and what matters most in a given situation. My style is grounded, direct, and steady, with a focus on insight that leads to durable leadership shifts rather than surface-level fixes. I coach senior leaders, emerging executives, and high-potential professionals who want a thought partner with real executive experience—someone who understands the realities of leadership and can engage at the level they’re operating.
