Discover What's Possible
As an Executive Coach and HR Consultant, I partner with leaders who are ready to make meaningful change happen. With extensive strategic business experience in fast-growing tech startups, I bring analytical rigor, emotional intelligence, and genuine insight to every conversation. Expect a partnership filled candid feedback that moves you forward -- not corporate speak that keeps you stuck.
How I Can Help
There's no one-size-fits-all. You are unique, your organization has its own culture and challenges, so our work together will be tailored specifically to what you need. Whether it's individual coaching, team development, or organizational strategy, we'll design an approach that delivers real progress where it matters most.
1:1 Coaching
Consider me your strategic thought partner who helps you see what's truly possible. We'll explore the questions that matter most to you, uncover insights that lead to breakthrough moments, and build sustainable habits that create lasting change.
Expect honest feedback, deep listening, and the kind of support that helps you step into your full potential.
Team Development
I help groups improve communication, build trust, and create the psychological safety needed for innovation and collaboration. We'll address what's not working and build new patterns that stick long after our work together ends.
HR Consulting
From navigating organizational transitions to building people strategies that work in the real world, I bring practical solutions to complex HR challenges. Whether you're scaling your team or managing change, I'll help you make thoughtful decisions that serve both your business objectives and your people's growth.
