I’ve spent over two decades operating inside high-growth tech companies—managing teams, advising execs, and leading through complexity. I’ve coached VPs, Directors, and emerging leaders at companies like LinkedIn, Microsoft, Lyft, and Hillspire (Eric Schmidt’s family office), helping them increase their influence, lead through ambiguity, and scale themselves as their scope grows.

My coaching is grounded in business realities, not fluff and tuned for the unique pressures of leading in tech.

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.
