Executive Coaching Coaches

Every promotion is an identity rewrite — and nobody hands you the new rules. I’ve done it five times, from IC to Senior Engineering Manager at LinkedIn to Director at Instacart, and now again as I leave corporate to build something new. I spent a decade leading engineering orgs — reorgs, org design, calibration systems, AI adoption — and navigating the cross-functional complexity and politics that come with the role. What I learned is that the hardest part isn’t the job itself. It’s understanding the system you’re inside, especially when the rules quietly change. I coach from that lens. Not frameworks — pattern recognition. Across hundreds of conversations mentoring and coaching leaders, I kept seeing the same thing: high performers already operating at the next level, but not being seen that way. Not because they lack capability, but because they’re being misread — or playing by rules that no longer apply.

With over 30 years of experience in data and more than a decade as a data leader, I’ve honed my skills in building high-performing teams and guiding professionals to achieve their career goals. As Head of Data Science and now Chief AI and Data Officer, I’ve led transformative data initiatives and cultivated a leadership approach that empowers others to excel. I specialize in coaching executives and aspiring leaders to reach new heights in their careers. I’ve guided a data analyst to become a Head of Business Intelligence, a data engineer to rise to Principal Data Engineer, a junior data scientist to transition into a senior data scientist, and a data engineer to achieve the position of Senior Director of their department. Beyond one-on-one coaching, I’ve contributed to organizational growth as a board member, advising a financial institution on navigating challenging economic conditions while maintaining responsible growth strategies. Having reviewed thousands of resumes and conducted over 200 interviews, I bring deep insight into what it takes to thrive in competitive and evolving fields. Helping professionals at all levels—especially data leaders—reach their potential is my passion. I take immense satisfaction in mentoring others and enabling them to step confidently into their next career challenge. If that sounds like you, let's connect!

With over a decade of experience in leadership development and executive coaching, I am passionate about helping leaders at all levels unlock their full potential. As the Director of Global Leadership Development at Visa, I have honed my skills in performance consulting and leadership strategy across a global enterprise. My background includes serving as a Principal Consultant and Executive Leadership Coach at mFluence, where I provided individual coaching, speaker coaching, and facilitated workshops on leadership topics. I hold an MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management and am a certified executive coach with the International Coach Federation. Whether you're looking to enhance your leadership skills or prepare for a major presentation, I'm here to guide you. Let's connect and take your leadership journey to the next level!

I coach founders and senior executives navigating complex, high-stakes leadership decisions. Over the past 25+ years, I have built and led companies across private equity, venture capital, family offices, and digital health. I have raised and deployed capital, executed cross-border acquisitions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and served as both a C-suite executive and board member. I understand leadership not only from the operator’s seat, but from the investor’s and director’s perspective—where decisions are evaluated through the lens of performance, governance, and long-term value creation. My coaching is grounded in real operating and capital accountability. I work with leaders who are scaling organizations, preparing for board scrutiny, raising capital, navigating international expansion, or stepping into broader executive responsibility. Our work focuses on strategic clarity, disciplined decision-making, and positioning for durable leverage—not motivational theory or generic leadership frameworks. Clients engage me because I have operated under the same pressures they face: capital at risk, teams to lead, markets to enter, and boards to answer to. I bring both global operating experience and governance perspective to help you think at the altitude required for consequential decisions.

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. I’m ICF-certified, trained through the Center for Executive Coaching, and combine that rigor with firsthand operator experience. My coaching is grounded in business realities, not fluff and tuned for the unique pressures of leading in tech. I work with clients on everything from strategic thinking and stakeholder alignment to imposter syndrome and exec presence. If you’re navigating growth, preparing for a bigger role, or just need a trusted sounding board, I’ve been in your shoes, and I coach from that place.

I’m a Co-Active Leadership Coach, and I work with people navigating life transitions (e.g., new jobs, new chapters in life) and moments when you start questioning what you really want next. My background is in Business and Finance (Master in Finance and MBA from INSEAD Business School). I spent ~10 years in strategy consulting at Kearney across Europe and the Middle East, and I’m currently working in Strategy and Operations at TikTok/ByteDance. What I bring into my coaching is helping you step back, see things from a different perspective, and move forward with more clarity and intention. Some of the situations I often work with: - Feeling stuck or dissatisfied in an area of life such as career, relationships, health, or direction - Starting a new job and wanting to show up at your best - Promotions or changes in roles and expectations - Being let go and figuring out what’s next - Entering a new phase of life or adulthood - Improving relationships with partners, family, or colleagues - Processing emotions and making sense of what’s going on Who I usually work with: - Individuals who want to take an active and intentional step in shaping their life (in any area), who feel they have been drifting and want to start steering more intentionally.

I’m qualified to coach executives because my work combines organizational psychology with real-world leadership experience. I’ve completed the Groupworks Executive Coaching Training program and am actively accumulating hours toward ICF certification, so my practice is grounded in the latest evidence-based executive coaching methods. I’ve worked with leaders navigating promotions, first-time executive roles, organizational change, and high-stakes decisions. I understand the pressures executives face — unclear priorities, competing demands, political dynamics, and decisions that impact teams and business outcomes. My coaching is structured, practical, and outcome-focused. Executives leave sessions with clarity on priorities, frameworks for decision-making, strategies for stakeholder influence, and measurable progress in how they lead. I help bridge the gap between insight and action so leaders can perform confidently under pressure.

With experience as a Hiring Manager and Operations Leader at two Fortune 500 companies and as the Career Services Director at two major university business schools, I have a proven track record of helping professionals achieve their career goals. More recently, I have worked through partnerships with top executive search firms and recruiters, as well as Storeyline Resumes. My clients have worked in Individual Contributor through CEO roles across all industries- including Finance, Technology, Consulting, Real Estate, Health Care, and more. Now I am offering my services directly to individuals like you. My expertise spans resume writing, LinkedIn profiles, professional job search, interview preparation, and executive coaching having worked with hundreds of clients to advance their careers with clarity and confidence. Whether you're looking to refine your resume or navigate a career transition, I'm here to provide customized guidance and support.

I've spent 15 years doing the job my clients are navigating. As Executive Director at Disney Streaming, I lead a 90-person global engineering organization with a $100M+ budget, shipping AI/ML platforms to 200M+ users. Before that, I was a VP Strategist at Goldman Sachs building infrastructure for Apple Card and Marcus. I'm trained in Co-Active coaching, the same methodology used by top executive coaches at Google, Apple, and McKinsey. I blend real operational experience with powerful questioning, presence-based coaching, and deep values work. My clients don't just get advice from someone who read about leadership, they get coached by someone who lives it every day. I work with tech executives, VPs, directors, and founders on burnout recovery, career transitions, executive presence, and leading through AI-driven change. If you're a senior leader who wants both impact and fulfillment, I can help because I've walked the same path.

With 15+ years of experience leading teams and organizations at companies like Amazon, Audible, Accenture, and a Series B startup I’ve continuously refined my own leadership capabilities and helped others do the same. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, ready to take your leadership to the next level, or want to lead with greater confidence and impact, I offer real-world insights and proven strategies to support your growth. I’ve successfully coached executives to cut through the noise and prioritize what matters, navigate complexity, strengthen executive presence, and build high-performing teams.
