Hi there, I'm Brian. I've been trained at the Center for Executive Coaching, and have worked with leaders at every level to help them create culture, define and implement strategic initiatives, and take consistent action to become and achieve. You have all the information you could ever want at your fingertips; what you likely need to get to the next level is a partner outside your organization to help you tactically apply what you already know. That's where I come in. As a leader, you are the message. So what do the people around you hear? I work with you on your pressing issues so that you send the message you want to send by refining who you are. My approach is centered around asking powerful questions that reveal truths and help you navigate your unique challenges. In addition to my private practice, I have institutional experience from my roles at Crumbl Cookies and at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in preparing individuals for strategic roles in a global context. Let's work together to elevate your leadership potential and drive success in your career. Reach out to start your journey today!

With over 30 years of experience in data and more than a decade as a data leader, I’ve honed my skills in building high-performing teams and guiding professionals to achieve their career goals. As Head of Data Science and now Chief Data Officer, I’ve led transformative data initiatives and cultivated a leadership approach that empowers others to excel. I specialize in coaching executives and aspiring leaders to reach new heights in their careers. I’ve guided a data analyst to become a Head of Business Intelligence, a data engineer to rise to Principal Data Engineer, a junior data scientist to transition into a senior data scientist, and a data engineer to achieve the position of Senior Director of their department. Beyond one-on-one coaching, I’ve contributed to organizational growth as a board member, advising a financial institution on navigating challenging economic conditions while maintaining responsible growth strategies. Having reviewed thousands of resumes and conducted over 200 interviews, I bring deep insight into what it takes to thrive in competitive and evolving fields. Helping professionals at all levels—especially data leaders—reach their potential is my passion. I take immense satisfaction in mentoring others and enabling them to step confidently into their next career challenge. If that sounds like you, let's connect!

I’m a certified Executive Coach. I’m also an investor, startups advisor, partnerships expert, and an award winning technology leader, with nearly two decades of experience working with the world’s largest companies including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, as well as with high growth Silicon Valley tech companies like Okta. I hold an executive coaching certification from UC Berkeley HaaS School of Business, in partnership with Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute, which informs my approach for executive coaching, to ensures a structured, results-oriented process that drives meaningful progress and personal growth.

Leadership is hard work. Leading in a dynamic, high stakes environment is even harder. The practices and skills that got you here won’t get you where you want to be. Much like elite athletes and performers, the most effective leaders get coached. And they get coached by elite coaches. I provide top-tier coaching to high-impact executives and operators who want to perform at a higher level. I leverage my 15+ years of experience as an operator and executive where I built some of the top companies in the world, including DoorDash, Neighbor, and LinkedIn. My coaching is customized to meet the needs of each client and addresses the whole person, not just their work self. I use a combination of best-in-class assessments, quantitative and qualitative 360-degree feedback, and intense inquiry to help clients achieve outstanding business outcomes and live an intentional life. Common areas of coaching include: * Strengthening your ability to succeed during periods of complexity, doubt, and uncertainty * Building confidence in your ability to deliver results, take calculated risks, and build trust * Improving essential leadership skills including setting expectations, giving feedback, prioritization, accountability, and communicating effectively * Discovering your blindspots, developing greater self-awareness and enhancing your ability to emotionally regulate * Balancing competing demands and priorities at work and in life What you get from me: * Hard-won perspective from an executive who’s sat in boardrooms, made the hard decisions, and built industry-changing companies * Access to my world-class network; I’ll connect you with functional experts as needed * Access to my “best of” library, including the top templates, frameworks, models, and content I’ve created and curated over the last 15+ years * An unbiased partner who’ll create a personalized development plan that delivers results * A coach who always has your back but won’t hesitate to call BS as needed

I am passionate about leveraging my diverse experience to help executives navigate complex challenges and achieve their professional goals. Let's connect to explore how I can support your journey to success!
