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!

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.
