Welcome! So Glad You're Here.
The world has become increasingly complex, and the charge on leaders is more challenging and dynamic than ever. Top leadership is a "lonely" place, with the weight of the world on your shoulders, and the paradox of outgrowing objective feedback and developmental insights from others at your feet.
I help executives who have done significant and deep introspective work, and want to understand and challenge their blind spots and growth edges, and continuously develop and transform to positively impact their wellness, their people and system, and their mark on others.
​
As a CEO or top leader in a complex position that feels "lonely at the top," it’s hard to gain objective feedback and a sounding board who understands the complexity of the role and deeply personal challenges of executive leadership.
​
I've been in your shoes.
​
As a former CEO and MIT Sloan Executive MBA with over 15 years' experience helping executives sensemake, process, and develop into the leader they want to be, I understand the need for a trusted partner and unconflicted sounding board who can help you deepen your understanding of yourself and translate your personal insights into the leadership impact you wish to enhance.
​
I'm a solo practice, dedicating my personal expertise and approach to you and your unique executive challenge. I have the honor and privilege of holding the tender space with my clients to enhance emerging insights, deepen awareness, and draw out new perspective to help you build on your successes and sensemake what’s next, while advancing values-aligned developmental growth.
​
I coach globally via Zoom across organizations of all industries and​ size.

Executives Contemplating Significant Change
You've spent your career driven and focused on achieving your executive goals, and have accomplished everything you set out to do. Now, you're looking forward and contemplating a new sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. You want to jump off into the next thing, but need help and clarity discovering and connecting to who you are and who you want to be.
How Do I Know if It's the Right Fit?
Executive Coaching is a confidential partnership rooted in introspection and action for breakthrough results. For it to work, it's essential that the client-coach match resonates. We'll evaluate this in our discovery calls, but below might help you get to know who I typically work with.
I Work With Successful Executives Who Are Ready and Motivated to Grow and Transform.
I help CEOs, C-suite and VP-level execs, and sometimes complex Director-level executives who have the systems-based leadership perspective and influence to think beyond themselves as individuals and toward the benefit of their complex system and its people.
My clients typically have been very successful in getting where they are today, but despite their achievement focus and the results it’s driven, they find themselves noticing something’s missing. Together, we work to discover growth edges and blindspots that drive patterns of behavior that are no longer workable or useful; incrementally experiment with targeted change; and increase flexibility toward a place of emerging discovery, values alignment, and deep impact.
My clients are passionate about self-exploration and personal development, enhancing themes like self-awareness, authentic leadership, values-based decisions (in lieu of unworkable pattern-matched ones), and strategic transformation. Through our work together, clients gain increased psychological flexibility and transformational growth in support of lasting change.
I Understand Your World, Practice Evidence-Based Ethical Coaching, and Serve as an Unconflicted Thought Partner and Sounding Board to Help You Advance Your Transformational Goals.
I’m a former biomedical research turnaround CEO and completed my Executive MBA at MIT Sloan School of Management. I’ve completed years of professional and applied evidence-based training in the latest leadership development theory. I maintain several active coaching and mentoring roles at MIT Sloan in order to keep my practice relevant and continuously informed.
I’ve Experienced a Lot of the Challenges You’re Exploring Today.
As a female former CEO who rose through the ranks in the competitive Boston-based academic biomedical research industry and led an institutional turnaround in a complex and nuanced ecosystem, I have experienced a lot of the same internal and external obstacles my clients face. I have also experienced internalized sexism, power and oppression dynamics, and imposter feelings that have shaped my path and influenced where I’ve chosen to focus my efforts across my lifetime. Having grown up with undiagnosed ADHD and the feelings of constantly failing, struggling to learn traditionally, and letting people down that came with it, I am very sensitive to individual learning styles, identity, and issues associated with historical marginalization. At the same time, the resilience born out of constantly working to overcome these challenges has fueled my persistence, grit, drive, and ethics. A terrific executive coach helped me find and embrace my intuitive leadership superpowers, and understand that my growth mindset is a significant driver of my resilience and success against external odds.
My Purpose and Approach
For me, coaching is a calling. I coach for the fulfillment of helping people transform into the leaders they want to be.​
My approach is to provide a non-judgmental space where leaders can be vulnerable in identifying and exploring their present and desired future state. I am a deep listener and empathetic guide who will help you envision and experiment with the growth and change you desire. Through my executive background, thought-provoking questions, reflections, and evidence-based modalities, I help clients discover and lift internal barriers in service of greater professional satisfaction, happiness, and success.
