Experience level: Vice President
50+ people coached for Executive
As an experienced executive coach and strategic HR leader, I specialize in helping high achievers unlock their full potential and navigate complex challenges. My career spans diverse industries and roles, including serving as a trusted advisor to start-up CEOs and Fortune 500 leaders, recruiting top leadership talent to drive IPO success, and implementing people-focused strategies that deliver measurable results. Combining expertise in executive coaching, management consulting, psychology, recruiting, and HR, I support clients in mastering leadership skills, communicating clearly and confidently, transitioning into new roles, and building high-performing teams. My approach is both rigorous and supportive, providing actionable insights, practical tools, and personalized strategies to help you expand self-awareness, push beyond limitations, and achieve your goals with confidence. My professional background includes leadership roles at Coinbase (Pre- to Post-IPO), Deloitte, and Hidden Road (Series A) with industry experience in tech, fintech, financial services, and healthcare. My HR expertise spans leadership development, executive coaching, IPO people strategies, strategic communications, recruiting, talent management, organizational design, employee engagement and retention, change management, performance management, succession planning, employee relations, conflict resolution in high-stakes situations, compensation & benefits, and M&A integration. I am a Certified Executive Coach through the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and the Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute.
