I’ve spent my career building and leading teams inside one of the world’s most recognizable consumer goods companies. As a Director at Kraft Heinz, I’ve hired, developed, and promoted talent across multiple levels of a large organization — which means I’ve sat on both sides of the table. I know what it looks like when someone is ready to lead, and I know what holds high-potential people back from getting there. My Kellogg MBA gave me the frameworks and language to understand leadership at a structural level — but it’s the years of actually doing it inside a Fortune 500 that made me a better coach. What I bring to leadership coaching isn’t theory — it’s pattern recognition from years of real management experience inside a Fortune 500 environment. I’ve navigated the challenges that come with leading for the first time: building credibility quickly, managing people older or more experienced than you, earning trust without having all the answers, and figuring out how to develop others while still delivering results. I’ve made mistakes, learned from them, and now help others shortcut that curve.

With over 20 years of experience across law, energy, and education — and having worked with leaders in organizations including Google, Amazon, IBM, OECD, and Daimler — I specialize in helping emerging leaders build the ability to trust their judgment when the stakes are high. Many high performers step into leadership roles, assuming more skill or strategy will solve their challenges. But the real breakdown rarely comes from lack of knowledge. It happens under pressure — in difficult conversations, high-visibility decisions, or moments of scrutiny — where second-guessing, over-explaining, or overworking quietly take over. That’s where I work. Using principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Intelligence (mental fitness), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I help leaders strengthen steadiness under pressure, sharpen decision-making clarity, and step fully into authority without losing authenticity. The result is leadership that feels grounded, decisive, and sustainable, not reactive or performance-driven.

Leadership challenges rarely stop at the edge of the situation. The ones that keep recurring, despite your best efforts, usually have a personal dimension: a pattern in how you manage others, a story you've stopped questioning, a reaction that keeps pulling you off course. I work with public and social-sector leaders at precisely that intersection. My approach draws on Adaptive Leadership — a methodology developed over forty years at the Harvard Kennedy School — and on adult development theory, which offers a rigorous framework for understanding how we grow and what gets in the way. Together, these help us look at both the system you're trying to move and the inner dynamics that shape how you're meeting it. My coaching sessions are unhurried and attentive, and follow your sense-making rather than a set path. I ask questions more than I give answers. I'm not afraid to name what I notice — a tension, an incongruity, a place where something seems to tighten — and I work to make it safe enough that you can look at it directly. That's usually where the most important work happens.

I bring over a decade of experience guiding leaders through personal and professional transformation. With a background in education, leadership, and systems thinking, I’ve worked with founders, executives, and emerging leaders to help them lead from a place of alignment, emotional intelligence, and strategic clarity. My coaching is presence-based and people-centered. I create reflective, energizing spaces where clients can pause the noise, reconnect with their purpose, and lead with renewed confidence. Whether you’re scaling a venture, navigating change, or stepping into a bigger role—you don’t need more noise. You need the right questions, a clear mirror, and someone who believes in what you’re capable of creating.

In my 35 year career at Panasonic, I moved from a Trainee with a Master's Degree to a Divisional Vice President and then President. This journey was not always upward, and it was certainly not a carefully etched plan. Along the way I learned a lot from great teachers (mostly bosses) about what to do, and what NOT to do. One thing that became clear to me--building a culture that people could excel in was more important than fitting in with the culture I was often surrounded by. How to do that, and maintain a balance between your circle and the larger circle, is something I know a lot about. By 2016 I had received great Coaching twice, both times paid for by my company. I admired the coaches, and more important, saw great value in learning how to both teach and empower at the same time. So I got a my Coaching Certification from International Coaching Federation Class in NYC, and have been practicing since then, along with business consulting. Finally, I value work-life balance, and did even when I was an executive. It isn't easy. But there are ways to think about and Design Your Life to establish the best practices trying to get it in place.

Most leadership coaches have studied leadership. I’ve led at scale. As a former SVP operating across global organizations, I’ve carried revenue targets, built teams across continents, and made decisions where the cost of hesitation was real. Today, I coach senior executives to close the gap between knowing and doing. My work focuses on decision velocity, accountability, and leadership behavior under pressure. I don’t offer theory. I help leaders see what they’re missing, say what needs to be said, and execute at a higher level. Over 6,000 sessions have sharpened one core skill: identifying the few changes that unlock disproportionate impact.
