Executive Coaching, Events, and Resources

Executive leadership isn't a title — it's a set of skills most organizations expect you to already have before they give you the room to develop them. I learned that firsthand navigating senior roles across three continents, three global organizations, and ultimately into one of the most demanding technical leadership environments in the world: Google DeepMind. At Google, I wasn't just executing — I was leading cross-functional teams across APAC, EMEA, and North America, aligning Research, Engineering, Product, and Operations around shared goals under real pressure, and making decisions that had nine-figure consequences. At Accenture in London, I managed client relationships at the executive level in fintech and banking. At Deloitte, I built the foundation — learning how to communicate up, lead without authority, and drive outcomes in complex organizations where nobody reports to you but everything depends on you. And now as a founder, I'm doing the hardest version of executive leadership: building from zero with no safety net. What I bring to executive coaching is pattern recognition across every stage of that journey — what it takes to get into the room, what it takes to stay there, and what it takes to lead in a way that actually moves organizations forward. If you're stepping into a senior leadership role for the first time, trying to expand your influence, or preparing to make the jump from operator to founder, I've lived every one of those transitions personally.

I work with senior leaders and executives as a confidential thought partner during moments that require clarity, precision, and sound judgment. My background spans investment banking, strategy, and leadership advisory, where I’ve operated in high-performance environments shaped by ambiguity, pressure, and complex decision-making. This allows me to engage at a level beyond traditional coaching—bringing both structured thinking and practical insight to conversations around leadership, transitions, and organizational challenges. My approach is direct, strategic, and outcome-oriented. I help leaders cut through noise, sharpen their perspective, and move forward with conviction—whether they are stepping into a broader role, navigating competing priorities, or reassessing long-term direction. Clients value the combination of analytical rigor and grounded coaching, gaining not just reflection, but clear decisions, stronger leadership presence, and the ability to operate more effectively at the level they’re expected to lead

Future and solution-focused — We spend very little time reanalyzing the past; sessions are oriented toward the outcomes clients want to achieve. Strengths-based — I believe sustainable growth comes from leveraging what people already have. Powerful questioning — I encourage self-discovery by helping clients shift their perspectives rather than telling them what to do.

The jump from high performer to people manager is one of the least-prepared-for transitions in someone's career. I coach Millennial and Gen Z leaders at all points in their leadership arc, from new managers finding their footing to senior leaders who want sharper self-awareness and a clearer read on how they're showing up to their teams. My background is in People and HR leadership across high-growth companies, which means I understand the organizational dynamics at play alongside the personal ones. I've built leadership development programs, run performance processes, coached leaders on delivering difficult feedback, and worked alongside the executives whose expectations you're now being held to. I'm an ICF-certified coach (ACC), Hogan-certified practitioner, and NYU Stern MBA. I coach the way I'd want to be coached: direct, honest, and grounded in your actual situation.
