Leadership Coaching, Events, and Resources

Most leaders reach a point where their results are strong, but their communication doesn't reflect it. They're underestimated in the room, overlooked for opportunities, or leading teams that aren't fully aligned. It's not because of what they're doing, but because of how they're showing up and communicating. This package is for leaders who are ready to close that gap. We work on what actually moves the needle: executive presence, high-stakes communication, influence without authority, and the ability to navigate complex dynamics with clarity and confidence. Every session is built around your real situations: the conversations you're avoiding, the stakeholders you need to move, the moments where your message needs to land differently. You'll leave with a clear leadership communication framework, sharper instincts for high-pressure moments, and the kind of presence that makes people pay attention. Not because you changed who you are, because you got better at showing people who you already are. Coaching is delivered via live sessions and async support.

I bring 20+ years of executive leadership experience, having built and scaled teams across technology companies ranging from fast-growing SaaS startups to Fortune 500 organizations. As VP of Product at SimplePractice, I led cross-functional teams that contributed to 56% year-over-year revenue growth while managing stakeholders across engineering, design, sales, and customer success. At Pearson, I scaled a leadership team from 4 to 21 people while being responsible for $86M in revenue, learning how to develop leaders who could navigate ambiguity, drive strategic thinking, and build high-performing teams across multiple geographies. This experience taught me not just how to deliver results, but how to develop authentic leaders who inspire others and create lasting organizational change. What makes my leadership coaching unique is that I've lived the specific challenges my clients face, from managing competing priorities and difficult conversations to leading through organizational transformation and building psychological safety within diverse teams. I understand the isolation of senior leadership roles and the complexity of balancing stakeholder needs, team development, and personal authenticity. My coaching approach blends real-world leadership experience with coaching principles, helping leaders develop both their strategic capabilities and their genuine leadership presence. I don't just coach theory. I coach from two decades of leading through the messy, complex realities of modern organizational life.

I work with new managers and engineers looking to grow in influencing without authority and leading peers. I help engineering leaders lead effective discussions—small and large—where team strengths shine, constructive conflict is welcomed, and difficult conversations move innovation forward. With over three decades of corporate engineering leadership, I have honed my leadership of people, teams and projects. My background (Ph.D. in engineering, over 300 U.S. Patents, a career growing others and delivering projects, and experience with Functional Safety and Robustness) gives me a solid foundation to guide others. Let's discuss your current leadership challenges and whether my approach fits your goals.
