Intro

Board Certified Coach | Organizational & Team Transformation Leader | Guiding Humans & Teams to Be Well-Performing & Future-Ready!

What is your specialization and style of coaching?

I specialize in leadership, wellness, career, and team coaching, with a focus on building resilience, authenticity, and sustainable performance. My style is strengths-based, thought-provoking, and practical—balancing positive psychology with real-world business insight to help clients and teams thrive.

What relevant qualifications do you have related to your specialization?

I am a Board Certified Coach, former Wall Street executive, and strategic advisor with 20+ years of experience leading and developing talent, culture, and performance across fast-paced, high-growth, and mission-driven organizations. Whether I’m coaching a CEO through crisis, advising a founding team on scaling culture, or helping a global leader reclaim clarity and confidence, I bring deep expertise, empathy, and evidence-based insights to every engagement. As the Founding Director of Insightful Solutions and a Lead Coach with BetterUp, I’ve supported thousands of individuals and scores of teams through transformation, transition, and the pursuit of well-performance. My work blends the science of Positive Psychology and Behavioral Health with lived executive experience to unlock clarity, resilience, and sustainable success.

What types of clients do you enjoy working with?

I enjoy working with individuals and teams who are striving to grow—whether that means stepping into leadership, navigating career transitions, strengthening resilience, or creating healthier ways of working together. I meet my clients where they are, valuing both those who are curious and ready to put insights into practice, as well as those who may feel stuck, uncertain, or unsure of their next step.

What types of clients get the most value working with you?

Clients who get the most value from working with me are those who want to grow with intention, whether they are high performers looking to set healthy boundaries, leaders navigating complex team dynamics, or individuals seeking clarity in times of transition. My approach blends positive psychology, business insight, and practical tools, so clients who are open to reflection and willing to experiment with new perspectives tend to see the greatest impact.

What’s inspiring you lately?

Lately, I’ve been inspired by the idea of ‘Well-Performance’ — the notion that we do our best work when joy, resilience, and sustainability are present. In coaching, most clients arrive seeking ‘Peak Performance’ or to be a ‘High Performer,’ but I see the power of focusing on well-being as the foundation for lasting success. I notice it in the discipline of my daily walks, the lessons gymnastics still teaches me about balance, and even in spontaneous moments of beauty, like spotting a rainbow on an ordinary day. These experiences continue to inform both my coaching and my own growth.
