Bio

I'm an ICF-Certified Executive Coach with a passion for helping founders, executives, and emerging leaders accelerate their growth.

Clients seek me out for my unique blend of strategic vision, operational expertise, and human-centered coaching—helping leaders rise to the pivotal moments that define their careers and their companies.

With over 17 years of leadership experience at companies like Snap, IMDb, and Amazon, I specialize in coaching leaders in tech to navigate critical inflection points, whether it's stepping into a senior leadership role, building executive presence, or leading teams through rapid growth and high-stakes change.

As a hiring manager, I secured promotions for over 25 team members and sponsored 6 senior individual contributors into their first management roles. As a Coach, I’ve guided over 50 professionals in getting the promotion they deserved, landing their dream job, getting unstuck, or overcoming myriad challenges. 

I've also served as an advisor to startups, consulting on organizational design, increasing team velocity and retention, strategic AI adoption, and roadmap development.
