Leadership Coaching, Events, and Resources

I don’t coach from the sidelines. I coach from the seat. With 20+ years leading product teams at Amazon, Box, Iterable, and Apollo.io, I’ve lived through the hypergrowth, the AI shifts, and high-stakes executive decisioning. I’m a UC Berkeley (BECI) Certified Executive Coach and a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach, but my real methodology was forged while building organizations from $42M to $225M+ ARR. My Philosophy: Kind but Tough. Most leaders think they have to choose between empathy and accountability. That is a myth that kills performance. I help you integrate a Radical Heart with a Relentless Edge. Kindness is the clarity to tell the truth when everything is chaos. Toughness is the conviction to hold the standard for the outcomes that matter. The Approach: I don’t deal in leadership platitudes. Using Gallup Strengths-based frameworks, we decode how you are specifically wired to lead so you can stop chasing an archetype and start operating from your Irreplaceable Human Edge: Discernment, Empathy, Presence, and Imagination. Who I work with: Product, Engineering, Design leaders navigating career inflection points, AI transformation, scale-up friction, or other critical moments where you need a sounding board and thought partner. I'm also passionate about working with Women-in-Tech and Underestimated Leaders across all disciplines. If you want a coach who is kind enough to tell you the truth and tough enough to walk through it with you, let’s talk.

I'm an experienced leader with almost a decade of progressive leadership experience in executive roles in startups and social impact. I was the COO of a YCombinator-backed startup (a leading Democratic political software company), which was acquired by ActBlue in 2025; I was previously the Chief of Staff for the same company, and have served as a fractional Chief of Staff for a number of other startups. I've worked directly with numerous CEOs and executive teams, with a range of leadership styles. I've also directly managed many many staff members over the years, many of them managers themselves. My interest in "people science" and leadership is rooted in my undergrad studies in Sociology at Harvard; I focused on organizational sociology with a minor in psychology, intently focused on human behavior at work and how leaders can maximize both performance and empathy. I've gone on to both formally and informally coach a number of leaders - my own direct reports, peers, and many junior staffers taking their first leadership role. I've also worked to develop a formal leadership training course for young leaders in the social impact space. My academic background, lived experience as a Chief of Staff and startup COO, and significant time spent coaching and mentoring, are the pillars of my coaching expertise. My leadership coaching mentality is rooted in listening/empathy, frank and direct feedback, and actionable advice that can lead to tangible progress in your particular leadership goal.
