Maïa and I worked together at Asana and she led the effort to significantly expand the Administrative Operations team during a time of fast growth. Maïa built the business case for expansion, influenced Leadership to approve the headcount growth, rolled up her sleeves to interview, hire, and onboard a dozen or so new Admins, and managed a large team. As my manager, Maïa also led me through coaching and values engagement, helping me to refine my anchor point and vision, and it was an energizing and expansive experience that I still reference today. During our time working together, Maïa also handled some challenging moments with curiosity, openness, and willingness to learn from them. She's got the wisdom to grow teams with a heart of empathy and the passion to motivate people to be their best!

I have so appreciated the executive coaching relationship with Maia and the way it's elevated my leadership and ability to navigate a new chapter of my career. Maia's keen judgement, trust and encouragement have been invaluable to me and had a wider impact on my team. She has not only provided me with management tools and advice, but more importantly has helped lead me to discern the answers already within me. I can't recommend working with Maia enough to anyone looking to make a leap in their professional development.

Maïa helped us scope, recruit, and eventually hire our first executive operations position at Abridge. She is fabulous to work with, and has an unwavering commitment to helping people find the right person for the job! The candidates she sent our way were fabulous. Thank you, Maïa!

Maia's consulting and search services helped us re-define and fortify our company's executive operations. Maia deftly defined our internal need, crafted the perfect role and led an efficient recruiting strategy which resulted in a very qualified hire. Maia was able to quickly identify the most qualified candidates meeting our criteria and kept us informed during the recruiting process through detailed weekly candidate generation reports. She then supported us throughout the offer process and provided insight on our onboarding plans. I would not hesitate to recommend Maia's services and would gladly work with her again.

From the outset of our collaboration, it has been clear that Maïa and I share a compelling vision for the evolution of support roles. We both deeply appreciate the subtleties and complexities involved in matching excellent companies with superior admin talent while cultivating thriving partnerships for Executive Assistants (EAs), Executive Business Partners(EBPs), Chief of Staff (CoS), and executives. Maïa's profound understanding of the challenges and opportunities within this realm is remarkable. Her expertise, insight, and unwavering commitment to her clients make her an extraordinary asset. Together, we strive to bring our shared vision to life, providing exceptional support to our clients and making a positive impact in the support role arena.

I wholeheartedly recommend Maïa as an outstanding coach. She has had a profound impact on me in my Executive Operations journey. Maïa is wildly talented, insightful and generous. She brings a wealth of expertise and a diverse toolkit that supports me in enhancing communication skills, fostering a cohesive team, facilitating constructive conversations, navigating high-pressure situations, and advocating for myself. Her approach is not just about immediate problem-solving but also about instilling a lasting mindset to continuous improvement. Maïa empowers others to harness their strengths while purposefully challenging areas for development. She would be a force for any individual or organization looking to deepen relationships, elevate leadership, strengthen team dynamics, or navigate change. Maïa, you are a legend!

Maia has a potent ability to create a secure container for clients to be authentic and recognize their natural abilities and true selves. With her guidance, I identified my key values which help me operate at my best. Awareness of my values became distinctly useful and proved to be amazing filters when it came to new opportunities in my search, and subsequent interview processes. Where there was massive alignment, there was success. I highly recommend working with Maia as a coach. She empowers and elevates you in your career development and trajectory. I am beyond grateful for the valuable growth accomplished under Maia’s expertise and mentorship.

Judy has a knack for mentoring and coaching. Her past experiences have made her a natural coach and she provided me with all the tools and confidence I needed to start my own woman-owned consulting firm within a year. She brings a wealth of private sector work, business administration, and 'how to do guidance' to get any business off the ground and up and running. She was my rock during my first year of business and I am forever grateful that we had the opportunity to work together and see my business grow.

Judy is an incredible coach. I’m so grateful for her curiosity, sharpness, and earnestness as I prepared for a dual role and industry transition. She was always interested in learning more about me as her client, about my current role, and about my target industry. From there, she was able to provide thoughtful insights, helping me identify opportunities and ideas I have had trouble finding even with the help of other mentors. Above all I felt like Judy was truly rooting for me – beyond the requisite support I’d expect from a coach, I felt like she was invested in my growth as a professional and was excited for what I could offer. Her coaching gave me immense clarity and conviction, and she helped me break down my career transition into tangible steps. I’d recommend her for anyone looking for an enthusiastic and impactful partner in executing against new dreams for their future.

Judy is the perfect coach for the first time leaders and C-Suite executives, as she coaches from her own experiences [and training as well as] wisdom [from] her clients. She can walk with you on your journey to grow to become the leader you want to become.
