I specialize in the architecture of modern leadership. Drawing from 20 years as a marketing and tech executive— navigating high-stakes corporate spaces as a woman and LGBTQIA+ leader—I provide a seasoned perspective on power, culture, and alignment. I operate at the intersection of executive coaching and strategic advisory. Unlike 'pure-play' coaches, I lean into my two decades of experience across startups and big tech to serve as a consultant and sounding board when the moment demands it. This allows me to offer more than just inquiry; I provide the situational insight required to navigate complex organizational dynamics. Known by former CEOs as 'The Velvet Hammer,' I am recognized for my unique ability to blend deep emotional intelligence with an uncompromising, results-driven strategic edge. I partner with leaders from all backgrounds to bridge the gap between human-centered values and measurable impact, ensuring they lead with the grounded authority the modern era requires.
