I coach mid-career professionals and first-time managers through the transitions that actually matter — promotions, pivots, and the leadership moments no one prepared you for.
Before coaching, I spent nine years climbing the same corporate ladder my clients are on now — including the two years I spent quietly convinced I wasn't ready for the seat I already had. Coaching didn't exist for me then the way it does now, so I built the practice I wish I'd had.
I work with professionals 5–15 years into their career who are technically excellent and strategically stuck — the promotion that keeps slipping, the pivot they can't justify to themselves yet, the team they were handed with zero training on how to lead it.
My approach is direct, not therapeutic. We name the actual problem in session one, and build a plan you can act on the same week.
Building the visibility, positioning, and case for advancement that most people wait too long to start.
The unglamorous, high-stakes skills nobody trains you on: feedback, delegation, and difficult conversations.
Structured decision-making for people considering a real change, not just a vague sense of restlessness.
Built a coaching practice from zero to 150+ clients, working with professionals across tech, consulting, and finance.
Led a 40-person function through two reorgs, which is where most of the leadership frameworks I teach today came from.
First management role — and the one that taught me, the hard way, everything I now help first-time managers skip learning by trial and error.
