Leadership Coaching Coaches

I specialize in helping ambitious people identify and overturn limiting assumptions and beliefs to make way for change. I've coached people through overcoming imposter syndrome, risk/change intolerance, and fear of failure. My clients are leaders and high performers who are wanting more 'freedom' - sometimes this means considering moves that involve risks or don't fit the traditional narrative: major career pivots, walking away from prestigious opportunities, or choosing the less “safe” option. My approach is rooted in established frameworks—Adult Developmental Theory, Adaptive Leadership, and Immunity to Change, among others. I've received training in leading and managing change from Harvard Kennedy School, Minds at Work, and Cultivating Leadership, and I am currently pursuing my PCC-level ICF coaching certification. Most career coaching is advice-based and about minimizing or managing risk. I help people do something much harder: rebalance your risk appetite and find unconventional ways to take smart risks. My coaching is about rethinking your “negative space" to expand what's possible.

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.

I’ve spent my career working closely with founders, executives, and leadership teams as they scale businesses, navigate growth, and make high-stakes decisions. Today, I’m a Managing Director and General Manager at Exit Consulting Group, where I advise on strategy, operations, and M&A. 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.

With 15+ years of experience leading teams and organizations at companies like Amazon, Audible, Accenture, and a Series B startup I’ve continuously refined my own leadership capabilities and helped others do the same. Whether you’re stepping into a new role or ready to lead with greater confidence and impact, I offer real-world insights and proven strategies to support your development. I’ve successfully coached leaders at all levels to build influence, strengthen executive presence, navigate complexity, and empower high-performing teams.
