“At any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.”
About Me
I’m a tech leader and executive coach who works with people navigating real leadership complexity.
My career spans individual contributor, manager, and senior product leadership roles, across strong cultures and environments where alignment wasn’t always clean. I’ve seen what actually helps people grow and what quietly holds them back, even when they’re capable, committed, and well-intentioned.
I believe leadership isn’t about confidence or charisma. It’s about judgment: knowing where to focus, what to let go of, and when to move decisively. That kind of leadership is a muscle. It’s built through self-awareness, honest reflection, and choosing the right challenge at the right moment.
I’ve worked across finance, strategy consulting, business operations, IT, and product management, leading teams at global companies and startups. I’ve helped launch products used by billions. What matters most to me, though, is helping leaders think more clearly, make better tradeoffs, and act with greater agency.
Who I work with
I work with founders, product leaders, and senior executives who are:
Stepping into broader scope, ambiguity, or increased responsibility
Navigating a major life transition that’s reshaping how they think about their career
Highly capable, but feeling stretched, stuck, or under-recognized
Trusted by their teams, but struggling to influence upward or shape direction
Ready for honest reflection, not performative confidence or quick fixes
People come to me with questions about what’s next in their career, how to lead effectively within an existing organization, and how to feel more grounded and decisive in their role.
If you’re looking for clarity, sharper judgment, and momentum that actually sticks, we’ll likely work well together.

My Approach & Coaching Education
My coaching is grounded in neuroscience and leadership development research from Brown University, where I graduated with Leadership and Performance Coaching Certification (LPCC). I’m also an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
This is combined with 20+ years of real-world experience leading teams in tech and consulting, which are my foundations.
I adapt my style to what you need, sometimes coaching through questions, sometimes advising based on what I've seen work. Clients describe my approach as compassionate, practical, and forward-looking. I lead with curiosity, focused on understanding who you are and what matters to you, while also challenging you to grow.
Why I Coach
As a first-generation college graduate, I stepped into the corporate world with drive but little guidance. My early roles pushed me beyond my comfort zone: leading more experienced teams, navigating tight budgets and shifting priorities, adapting through reorganizations and relocations, and rebuilding my network from scratch more than once. I also experienced the transformation of becoming a parent while striving to lead at a high level.
What made the difference wasn't just grit—it was mentors and managers who saw something in me before I saw it in myself. Their belief helped me build confidence and own my path. Today, those experiences shape how I coach: with presence, perspective, and a deep commitment to helping others grow into the leaders they're meant to be.
I've supported professionals throughout my career, including high performers who appear confident but quietly question themselves. Coaching allows me to do this work in a deeper, more transformative way.
I coach because I want people to know they have choices and don't have to follow a path that doesn't align with their needs and beliefs. You can choose how to show up, when to move fast, and when to slow down.
I coach to offer the support I once needed, the grounded, knowledgeable presence I wish I had earlier. My approach centers on gaining clarity, creating alignment, and building the confidence to pursue meaningful challenges. It's about helping you step into the fullest version of who you can be.
