I'm a leadership and executive coach who works with founders, executives, and leaders. I'm also a former Uber, Afterpay, and Block PM with several years of building high-performing teams and products.

I am an International Coaching Federation Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and have coached hundreds of clients in one-on-one and group settings for more than 1,000 hours of coaching. I am also a continuous learner seeking ways to hone my craft and better serve my clients. I have 23+ years of leadership experience in the Marine Corps, to include being the Commanding Officer of more than 500 Marines and Sailors, as well as civilian management experiences as Manager, Australia & New Zealand for Gallup/

Expert in working through shyness, imposter syndrome, and other "confidence" related topics. To find my voice and navigate my imposter syndrome, I had to reckon with myself and the dynamics around me in fast-paced, quantitative fields (e.g., consulting, politics, "startup" dynamics) and highly competitive academic or performance-focused environments (Harvard, Williams, Juilliard). My expertise in leadership development is linked with my own development arc (connecting with my courage, understanding why my shyness was so sticky) as well as my experience coaching others through their personal and professional challenges and at their growth edges. Growing up, in school and in work, I was constantly told to "be more confident" or "speak up more". Though well intentioned, this feedback missed the deep work below the surface, including the big assumptions about the world and my place in it that I needed to debunk. My training in human development and leadership development from experience at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Graduate School of Education was fodder for my own leadership development arc as well as my early experience coaching and supporting others on their development arcs. I've facilitated workshops on developing agency, coached young people and adults on professional improvement goals (including goals related to executive functioning), and facilitated conversations among strangers about leadership challenges. I feel most useful to the world when I'm helping people find their voices, reconnect with their imaginations, and renegotiate loyalties with their communities to feel more empowered.

I'm an executive coach with an MBA from Michigan Ross and certification from Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. I specialize in helping leaders master communication, build emotional intelligence, and develop the executive presence their roles demand. I’ve supported founders, VPs, and first-time managers alike through high-stakes transitions, tricky team dynamics, and fast-changing environments. My background includes roles like VP of People at Hidden Road and Chief of Staff at Coinbase, where I scaled teams through hypergrowth, acquisition, and IPO. Earlier in my career, I advised Fortune 500 clients at Deloitte on leadership, people strategy, and organizational design. Today, I coach ambitious, self-aware leaders who want to grow with intention and lead with impact. I'd love to work together to help you reach your goals.

My biggest passion while serving for 11 years in the military was coaching junior leaders. I loved spending time 1:1 helping them sort through challenges leading their own teams, career development, developing emotional intelligence, and how they could be their best self for their teams. I studied Adult Education prior to teaching Leadership and Tactics for 3 years at the United States Military Academy - West Point. I went on to receive my MBA at MIT Sloan prior to transitioning to the corporate world. In my current roles, my passion is still developing junior leaders to be their best self as they grow and learn to manage teams to achieve bold, audacious goals.

My top CliftonStrengths theme, Developer, reflects what drives me most: a deep belief in others’ capacity to grow and a passion for helping them do just that.
