Leadership Coaching Coaches

I am qualified to coach in this category because I have spent over 15 years inside high-performing engineering organizations, including senior leadership roles at Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. I have managed engineers and managers at multiple levels, led hiring and promotion decisions, and operated in environments with real pressure, ambiguity, and consequences. I understand how engineering careers actually work in practice, not just in theory, including expectations, performance calibration, organizational politics, and the emotional load that comes with leadership. In addition to my leadership background, I bring formal coaching training and a grounded, structured approach. I do not rely on generic advice or motivational frameworks. My coaching is based on real scenarios, clear thinking, and honest feedback. I help clients understand what is happening in their role, why they may be stuck, and what specific actions will move them forward without burning out or losing themselves in the process.

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.
