Executive Coaching, Events, and Resources

I spent over 23 years leading and coaching teams in the technology industry, most recently at Salesforce, one of the world’s top Technology Fortune 500 companies. I know firsthand how tough leadership can be: the sleepless nights before big decisions, the pressure to perform without burning out your team, and the weight of leading through change. Now, as an ICF-certified executive coach, I help leaders and founders navigate those same challenges with clarity and confidence. My clients learn to make hard decisions without losing empathy, communicate with influence, and build high-performing teams that thrive even in uncertainty. They rediscover purpose, elevate their leadership presence, and lead with more calm, focus, and joy. My coaching is direct but deeply human, grounded in real-world executive experience, emotional intelligence, and evidence-based practice. If you’re ready to lead with authenticity, courage, and lasting impact, I’ll help you get there.

As an Executive coach, I have a unique understanding of how founders and the C-Suite can feel isolated, unsure, or burnt out. Working with me, we'll take a holistic approach to your leadership, your own career, and your skills and focus on the areas that need attention. You're only human, but the responsibilities at the top are challenging and complex! I believe a coach is a key thought partner for your own development, and by extension, the development of your team and organization.

A seasoned Executive, Advisor, and Coach with over 25 years of experience—including 17+ years at Alphabet—driving strategic partnerships, business development, and operational excellence. As a coach, I specialize in guiding individuals through pivotal moments of change and growth, empowering leaders to unlock their full potential and take purposeful, high-impact action.

I help leaders and teams accelerate towards their best professional selves and transformative outcomes. My practice relies on neuroscience-based tools; management experience from 25+ years as a CEO and senior leader of early- and mid-stage companies; and over three decades of mindfulness meditation training spiritual practice. I work with senior leaders—typically at the Director level and above—to navigate complexity, scale their leadership, or step into higher-impact roles or situations. My clients are intrinsically motivated and committed to personal and professional growth. Many are facing pivotal transitions such as expanding responsibilities, shifting organizational priorities, risk management, or taking on roles with broader visibility and pressure. On the team side, I support high-performing, mission-driven teams that want to increase collaboration, deepen trust, and deliver extraordinary results. These teams often operate in fast-paced or high-stakes environments, and seek a structured but adaptive coaching approach to strengthen alignment and performance.

My MBA at Stanford GSB was deeply focused on leadership and coaching. I immersed myself in courses like Interpersonal Dynamics (“Touchy Feely”), Leadership Laboratory, and Managing Growing Enterprises, each designed to build the skills leaders need to inspire, influence, and navigate complex organizational challenges. These experiences, combined with my professional background in finance and investing, shaped me into both a leader and a coach. Today, I work with executives and high-potential professionals to strengthen self-awareness, build resilience, and navigate the human side of leadership. Whether it’s managing through conflict, stepping into bigger roles, or leading teams with empathy and clarity, I bring a blend of structured tools, candid feedback, and personal experience to my coaching. My goal is to help you grow not just as a professional, but as a leader others want to follow.
