Leadership Coaching, Events, and Resources

I bring with me over 15 years of Leadership Development coaching experience, having worked with leaders at all levels. My clients have hailed from nearly all of World's top companies and within nearly every major industry. I have a far reaching global footprint, having coached clients and leaders from over 60+ countries and counting (I've coached leaders from every Continent except Antarctica!). In addition to my coaching expertise and experience, I also bring with me my 12+ years of corporate Learning & Development experience at one of the Big 4 professional services firms (PwC). I've supported leaders at all levels with strategy planning, career progression planning (for self and their director reports), interpersonal and professional skills development, giving timely and actionable feedback, delegating effectively and purposefully, overcoming imposter syndrome, and much, much, more. I'm known for, and receive consistent feedback around, being able to synthesize client issues to the finest point and help them connect the necessary dots to move things toward action, all while providing helpful tools and frameworks to support their endeavors. I am empathetic and compassionate, yet direct and will (gently) challenge you as needed. I also bring humor and a down-to-earth realness to each and every one of my client interactions, putting clients at ease and making them feel comfortable.

With a distinguished career in sales leadership, I have made significant contributions to renowned brands including LinkedIn, The Economist, and Ziff Davis. I have a long track record of achieving results by guiding individuals toward elevated performance, growth, and self-awareness. My corporate background includes leading teams to record revenue achievements and spearheading strategies for growth. During my decade-long tenure at LinkedIn, I was part of the sales launch team for sponsored content; led a large global cross-functional sales team dedicated to supporting LinkedIn's largest customers; and played a critical leadership role in building a North America key account sales organization. I honed my expertise in relationship building and growth strategies by engaging with C-level and other high-level executives at Fortune 500 companies. My sustained high-performance garnered recognition as a top global sales performer for multiple consecutive years. At The Economist, I served as the head of sales for advertising, research, and events in the Western United States and Latin America where I developed and executed a new global sales strategy. Under my leadership, the sales team achieved consecutive years of record revenue sales. Prior to The Economist, I dedicated seven-plus years at Ziff Davis to building, training, and coaching top-tier advertising-sales organizations. Today, my mission is to leverage my extensive corporate sales leadership experience along with the immense potential of executive coaching to enable individuals and organizations to reach their goals, exceed expectations and fulfill their true purpose. What sets my coaching apart is my unwavering dedication to being a partner in change while also empowering high-potential sales leaders, individual contributors, and senior executives to transform faster by finding their unique path to learn, grow and change.

I’ve spent my career working closely with founders, executives, and leadership teams as they scale businesses, navigate growth, and make high-stakes decisions. Today, I’m a Managing Director and General Manager at Exit Consulting Group, where I advise on strategy, operations, and M&A. In prior roles, I helped build and launch companies within AAA’s venture studio and worked across private equity and consulting, which gave me exposure to how effective leaders actually operate under pressure and uncertainty. Leadership is not something you learn from theory. It shows up in how you make decisions, communicate, prioritize, and lead people when the stakes are real. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t across different environments, from early-stage teams to more established organizations. I work with people who are stepping into bigger roles or trying to operate at a higher level, helping them think more clearly, navigate complexity, and lead with intention rather than reacting in the moment.
