Leadership Coach & Mentor

Leadership coaching for senior professionals at a turning point.

A promotion, a pivot, or a decision you keep putting off. I help you see what keeps holding you back and follow through on what matters now.

Who it's for

Leaders who are doing well and know something needs to change

  • Leaders stepping into a bigger role, with more visibility and more at stake
  • Senior professionals whose career looks right on paper and feels wrong inside
  • Managers stuck in the same pattern with their team or their boss
  • Founders who have grown past what they can do alone
  • People weighing a promotion or a move out of corporate
What we work on
For leaders in the seat

Leadership Coaching

Leading through change, managing a team, handling a hard boss, and keeping some balance. We work on how you make decisions and the habits that get in your way.

For a promotion or a pivot

Career Moves

We get clear on what you want next, shape the leadership story you tell, and prepare you for the conversations and interviews that decide it.

For founders and their teams

Founder Mentoring & Workshops

I mentor founders at the QUAY Startup Accelerator and run sessions for teams on growth and customer-facing operations.

How I work
Step 1

Start where you are

We look at the role and the thing you keep coming back to, and agree on what a good outcome looks like for you.

Step 2

Find the pattern

What stalls a leader usually repeats: with a boss, or in the way decisions get made or avoided. I tell you directly what I see.

Step 3

Pick concrete moves

We choose one or two things to try this week. You practice them at work, where it counts.

Step 4

Review and adjust

Each session starts with what happened. What worked stays and becomes the base for the next step. What didn't gets replaced.

I work as a coach and a mentor. I ask the questions that get you to your own answer, and when it helps, I tell you what I've seen work in two decades of leading teams.

About

I've sat in the seat

For more than 20 years I led customer success, enablement and go-to-market teams at tech companies including Kenshoo (Skai) and Sellics, with people and partners across several countries. I know the pressure of a leadership role because I carried it.

I started out as a trained adult instructor, and I still teach. I'm an adjunct professor of marketing and brand management at Yeshiva University's Katz School and at Queens College, and I mentor founders at the QUAY Startup Accelerator.

That's the lens I bring to coaching: how people actually change the way they lead, one practice at a time.
