25+ years as a C-suite executive/Operator, Executive Coach and Facilitator for venture-backed startups, high growth and high impact organizations, such as Glassdoor, Microsoft, Help Scout, Splunk, Headspace, System1, Cnote, Kona and Planned Parenthood. My career trajectory has given me the opportunity to work with both large global organizations as well as early-stage startups, spanning multiple industries. I’m a former CIO/CTO with an Omnicom company, TBWA Chiat/Day, and then spent 20 years in People Operations/Recruiting. I live in the intersection point between science and human experience. My superpower is combining these to support leaders in realizing their purpose, objectives, potential, and vision. My approach blends organizational best practices with depth in order to yield sustainable change. I’ve been trained in neuroscience and have a deep understanding of the emotional and physiological processes required for transformation. Most leaders I know are in constant GO mode. They live in their heads and function through action. Coaching lets leaders step back, take a breath, and gain the perspective necessary to create new ways of thinking, feeling, being and behaving. In addition to 1:1 Coaching, and facilitation of leadership development programs and offsites, I run a suite of unique offerings allowing leaders to develop in nature working with animals, including horses, wolves and wild animals in Kenya. These programs draw on the wisdom of nature and animals as parallels to healthy team dynamics and the self-awareness and self-regulation necessary for effective leadership. These experiences are so out of the ordinary, they allow access to new data sources and profound life-changing insights that are simply inaccessible in day-to-day life.Allstar Mentor @Techstars - Anywhere, Lagos, Los Angeles, TorontoAdvisor | Investor | Private and Nonprofit Board MemberCredentials: ICF MCC, Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, Certified Equus Coach®, MIT Neuroscience in Leadership, Certified in Enneagram in Business, Fellow, Harvard Institute of Coaching, Antioch University Nature-Based Leadership, EQMentor, Conscious Business, Listening To Bodies (Somatic Coaching), Difficult Conversations: Racism, Lead Faculty Evolution’s ICF-accredited ACSTH coach training program, Forbes Coaches Council
