I became a coach because I love helping people find more happiness and fulfillment in their lives and careers, which often means supporting my clients with the same types of issues I personally have wrestled with, whether that is silencing my inner critic, taming procrastination, or differentiating between what I really want versus what I think I “should” want. My coaching superpower is seeing the potential in my clients that they cannot always see for themselves.

With 20+ years of professional experience across law, energy, and education, I understand the complexity of high-stakes environments—where every decision influences people, teams, and culture. I’ve worked with organizations including Google (U.S. and Japan), Amazon, Daimler, Carrefour, Biomérieux, IBM, Philip Morris, Crédit Agricole, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), supporting leaders across industries and continents. My executive coaching cultivates human-centered leadership grounded in strategic decision-making with clarity, emotional intelligence, and presence that inspires trust. As a first-gen, multicultural professional, I also recognize the invisible weight that comes with leadership—navigating visibility, influence, and authenticity in spaces not always designed for you. I help clients uncover and reframe those internalized pressures, transforming overextension into purpose and self-doubt into quiet authority. I support executives and emerging leaders in guaranteeing their own sustainable performance and future-readiness, while cultivating the same resilience and adaptability across their organizations. This includes leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity and innovation, strengthening emotional and cultural intelligence, and developing communication strategies that build trust and clarity at every level. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Intelligence (PQ), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I guide clients to make deliberate, values-aligned choices that foster both excellence and wellbeing. The result is leadership that’s strategic, adaptive, and deeply human—where sustainability extends beyond the individual to the teams they inspire, the technologies they lead, and the cultures they create.
