I help diverse tech leaders transform their careers by developing the full range of capabilities needed to advance to senior roles. Drawing from my experience as a 'Great Manager' at Google and 30+ years in tech leadership, I specialize in helping international professionals navigate the complex landscape of executive leadership.

My coaching approach combines deep cultural intelligence with practical, action-oriented guidance. I create a safe space for authentic self-exploration while providing structured frameworks and real-world insights from my experience at companies like Google, Visa, and leading tech firms.

My areas of expertise:
- Developing a compelling leadership presence
- Navigating complex organizational dynamics
- Enhancing cross-cultural communication effectiveness
- Managing transformational initiatives
- Building and scaling high-performing teams

My credentials include ICF certification, training from the Hudson Institute of Coaching and Global Team Coaching Institute. I've successfully coached leaders at companies ranging from startups to tech giants like Airbnb, Google, and Microsoft.

Also as a frequent speaker and educator at Stanford University's Continuing Studies program, I regularly share insights on leadership development, cross-cultural communication, and building high-performing teams. My thought leadership has influenced audiences across major tech companies and industry conferences. 

I’m confident that I can help to achieve your ambitions because:

  • I’ve been in your shoes - or those of your staff - as a leader in companies large and small.  I understand your interests and challenges and your environment because I’ve been there.

  • I’ve had a pretty good career of my own.  Prior to starting my Executive Coaching practice, I was Chief Compliance Officer of Payments at Google. There I managed several hundred staff and contractors.  In that role, I received Google’s “Great Manager Award”, an award given to less than 1% of all managers. Prior to Google, I held leadership roles at a range of different companies including Visa and various start-ups. 

  • I’ve coached many people in many stages of their careers in my role as a manager, as a volunteer in Google’s internal coaching program, and as an Executive Coach with my own practice.

  • I’ve received extensive training on topics ranging from career development, performance management, influencing, and navigating change.

From the standpoint of education and credentials:

  • I received a BA in Economics and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley

  • I was certified as an Executive Coach by the Hudson Institute of Coaching.

  • I received a credential in Executive Coaching from the International Coaching Federation

I am open, friendly, and easy to talk to and I really do want to help.  I coach via phone, via video conference and in person.  My clients are located all over the globe - from California to New York to Ireland to Australia to Dubai.
