Claudia’s Master’s Programs Qualifications

10+ people coached for Master’s Programs

With degrees from the University of Oxford and Columbia University, I bring a strong academic foundation in both business and the humanities. Professionally, I serve as the Head of Programming at the United Nations Global Compact Network USA, where I lead initiatives that support over 1,000 U.S. companies - including many in the Fortune 500 - on strategy, leadership, and sustainability. My earlier experience at the International Chamber of Commerce and Bain & Company sharpened my skills in strategic analysis, stakeholder engagement, and program development. This blend of academic rigor and real-world leadership gives me a unique perspective as a coach. Whether you're applying to a master’s program in business or the humanities, I know what top institutions are looking for - and I’m here to help you position yourself for success with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Why do I coach?

I've been in your shoes and know what it’s like to navigate challenges without a clear roadmap. I would have really benefitted from having a strong coach to guide me through it. Being able to offer that kind of support to someone else - helping them find clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose - is exactly why I do this work.

United Nations Global Compact

2020 - Present

The United Nations Global Compact is a special initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General and the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative with over 25,000 corporate participants and other stakeholders in over 160 countries. In 2020, I became part of the founding team of the U.S. office of the UN Global Compact: • I developed the organization’s programmatic portfolio from the ground up, supporting over 1,000 American companies (including a majority of Fortune 500 firms) in strengthening their sustainability strategies and advancing the global sustainability agenda. Today, our offerings encompass accelerator programs, peer learning groups, thought leadership, webinars, and in-person events. • Built and hired the team responsible for executing the programmatic portfolio. I continue to lead this team (the largest in the organization), supporting both the execution of existing offerings and the development of new initiatives. • Spearhead the organization’s government relations strategy, engaging with U.S. public sector entities such as the U.S. Mission to the UN, the Department of State, and the Department of Labor. Since joining, I have led efforts to establish and strengthen public-private partnerships, significantly enhancing our government engagement.
