Leadership Coaching & Organizational Development Consulting
As an Executive Coach and Organizational Development Consultant, I partner with tech leaders to scale their capabilities and design the operating structures required to run high-growth teams. In my coaching, we tackle high-stakes realities like strategy, influence, impostor syndrome, difficult conversations, and managing low performers. At the organizational level, I draw on 25+ years of tech executive experience to help companies eliminate operational friction, clarify ownership, and build resilient systems that scale.
Executive Coaching
Stepping into higher-stakes roles brings increased visibility, complex organizational dynamics, and significant operational responsibility. My 1:1 coaching provides a confidential sounding board focused entirely on practical, actionable leadership execution. Together, we address strategic alignment, stakeholder influence, team accountability, and personal effectiveness. You will develop the stamina, clarity, and tactical tools required to lead with authority and sustain high performance over time.
Gallup Strengths Assessment
The Gallup CliftonStrengths framework provides a shared lens to explore how you think and where you do your best work. In this focused 1:1 session, we use your Top 5 themes as a foundation for deeper reflection on your day-to-day reality or your long-term direction. Together, we investigate what drives your engagement, audit your energy patterns to help you reshape your responsibilities, or clarify your criteria and positioning for your next executive move. You gain the clarity and perspective needed to make deliberate choices about how you show up and lead.
Organizational Development Consulting
Sustained organizational growth requires operating structures designed to absorb scale. Drawing on 25+ years leading, scaling, and restructuring design and technology teams at companies like Dropbox, Smartsheet, and Dialpad, I help leadership teams build durable operational frameworks. We refine team architecture, clarify ownership, streamline cross-functional workflows, and align day-to-day operations with strategic goals. The result is an agile organization equipped with clear decision-making processes and the structural capability to execute smoothly.
