I am an executive coach for people who live between worlds.
​
I work with globally mobile leaders, founders, and senior executives — people whose careers, cultures, and ambitions were never going to fit a single map.
​
Most arrive performing well and privately stuck: a negotiation that matters too much, a promotion that changed how the room treats them, a move that scrambled who they thought they were.
Together we get clear on what you actually want, name what's quietly in the way, and build the plan to get there — without you shrinking to pull it off.
​
I spent fifteen years advising Fortune 500 C-suites at the Boston Consulting Group and leading strategy at a $7B startup. That's where I learned how performance works, and how often the most capable person in the room is quietly managing something no strategy deck addresses. I work both layers: the move, and the person making it.
​
I've lived in seven countries and traveled to over 60. Between-worlds isn't a market I chose. It's the life I've lived — which is why my clients, wherever they're from, tend to feel understood faster than they expected.
How I help
I work at two levels — the leader, and the system around them.
Most engagements start with one and grow into both.
1:1 Executive Coaching
Private, high-trust work for the decisions a strategy deck can't solve — the ones where the right move and the person making it can't be pulled apart.
​
For founders and senior leaders navigating a defining moment.
Executive Workshops
Facilitated sessions that turn a team's friction into a shared direction.
Change Management
Carrying your people through reorgs, scale, and disruption.​
Organizational Design
Structuring teams and roles so the org chart matches the ambition.
How we work
together
A simple path in. We'll both know quickly whether it's a fit.
1) A first conversation
We get clear on what you actually want and what's quietly in the way — no pitch, no pressure.
2) A plan built around you
An engagement shaped to the move you're making — and the person making it.
3) The work
Regular sessions where we work both layers at once — the strategy, and the self running it.
