Trusted Partner & Coach for CEOs, Founders and Executives

Approach

Every senior leader deserves a trusted partner and coach—someone who truly gets you, challenges you, dares to ask you questions that no one else will, and cares for your success.

In today's fast-paced and complex business environment, it's all too easy to put yourself on the back burner. I've been there and I get it — you have limited time and capacity to dedicate to your own growth. But here's the truth: the most valuable — and often most neglected — asset in companies is top leadership. Don't let this happen to you.

I support business leaders at critical inflection points, whether leading in uncharted business conditions, building entrepreneurial ventures, or stepping into one-and-only kind of roles.

Some common areas clients focus on include navigating business transitions, strengthening influence, clarifying thinking, embracing uncertainty, building effective relationships, cultivating trust, aligning management teams, sharpening decision-making, understanding stress reactions, and unlocking deeper wisdom and visionary leadership.

Each client is unique, with their own blend of experiences, challenges and ambitions. That's why my coaching is highly personalized—through one-on-one sessions, where we co-create a tailored partnership designed to achieve your specific goals. You bring the vision, I help you build awareness, gain clarity, and build the momentum to achieve lasting results.

No matter where you are in your journey, coaching uncovers new possibilities and actionable insights to bridge the gap between who you are and who you want to become. Coaching is a partnership where your expertise, wisdom and self-knowledge are paired with mine in a thought-provoking and creative process that accelerates growth and unlocks your potential.

Coaching engagements typically span over 6 months, with the flexibility to customize as needed. By design, I work with a select number of clients at a time, ensuring you receive my full, focused attention for optimal results.

About Me

After over 20 years leading a dynamic career in executive leadership roles and successfully scaling two hyper growth companies through IPOs, I started to be organically sought out for advice and coaching. I have collaborated with hundreds of business executives as an operator, investor, advisor, and now trained coach.

With a proven track record and hands-on experience as a seasoned C-Suite People & Growth Executive at the table and in the boardroom, I am known to be a trusted partner during pivotal periods of change.

I have been there alongside CEOs through the highs and the lows of scaling companies at Seed/Series A/B/C stages and at late-stage growth companies through IPOs and beyond. As a systems thinker, I am versatile in coaching at the individual, team, and system level.

My life has been full of adventure, and my career journey has crossed many peaks and valleys. Often, when taking bold steps forward, I faced a wave of uncertainty, worry and doubt from others and myself. And the bolder the goals, the bigger the wave felt.

I was tempted to play it safe and limit my ambition. But with time, I learned not to give in. Instead, I followed my curiosity, which led me to embrace the discomfort that comes with change and transform obstacles into opportunities for growth.

Today, I help you do the same — scale up and rise to the level of your ambition to achieve your personal and business goals.

I support leaders in developing growth strategies, increasing awareness, gaining clarity, expanding influence, and breaking through self-limiting narratives to drive business impact.

Ultimately, it's simple. Investing in your growth will help your business thrive and be a multiplier for others — but the journey has to start with you.
