EXECUTIVE COACHING

Unlock possibility. Overcome any challenge. Build strong relationships.

Approach

I bring my expertise as a PhD psychologist to cultivate leaders who will build life-changing companies with global reach. Few coaches have my blend of academic rigor and frontline experience with leaders worldwide from Fortune 100 organizations to Silicon Valley start-ups.

What I Offer

I coach founders, CEOs, and leaders of all levels to build, develop, and retain best-in-class executive teams. With a holistic approach to leadership excellence, I often begin with 360 assessments (interviews and surveys), create a roadmap, and build skill mastery with practical tools, science-based frameworks, and expert feedback. I help uncover blind spots and support your growth for measurable results. Team coaching, culture consultation, hiring and interviewing coaching, and leadership offsites or workshops can extend the benefits of executive coaching to build best-in-class executive teams.
