Leadership Coaching, Events, and Resources

I coach senior leaders who are navigating complexity, scale, and consequential decisions. My work focuses on helping executives strengthen judgment, clarify priorities, and lead with both conviction and discipline. Drawing from experience leading enterprise transformation, organizational design, and workforce strategy inside complex organizations, I understand the pressure leaders face when stakes are high and ambiguity is constant. Leadership at that level is not about more information—it is about sharper thinking, aligned action, and disciplined execution. Through structured coaching engagements, I help leaders: * Clarify their leadership thesis and decision framework * Navigate tradeoffs without eroding trust or momentum * Increase executive presence and influence * Align personal leadership style with business outcomes * Lead teams through change without losing performance The result is not just improved leadership capability—but leaders who make clearer decisions, communicate with precision, and drive measurable impact inside their organizations.

I’ve spent 12+ years building and leading program management, strategy, and trust and safety teams at tech companies like Uber, Tinder and Hinge. I've grown teams from 3 to 30 employees and scaled operational programs across 6 continents. I've been a trusted advisor to VPs and the C-suite and helped make the business case industry-first features. To me leadership isn't just about the people you manage; it's about the people you can inspire and influence. I believe that leadership does not come from managerial authority but rather from expertise, strong relationships, and deep understanding of the teams around you. Let's become better leaders together.

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.

I’ve held multiple senior leadership roles in the healthcare space, and I didn’t get there by following a playbook. Like many emerging leaders, I had to figure it out on my own. No mentor. Just a lot of trial by fire. I learned to observe, adapt, and make the key mindset shifts needed to go from doer to leader, often in environments where the rules changed overnight. What most people don’t tell you is that what made you great in your last role isn’t always what’s going to carry you forward. The skill set shifts. So does the way you influence, communicate, and drive results. My coaching helps you navigate those leaps with clarity and confidence—whether you're managing people for the first time, growing in your current role, or eyeing your next move up. We’ll focus on building your strategic thinking, leadership presence, and ability to influence across the organization—so you’re not just doing more, but leading smarter.
