I am a former leader in tech and venture capital, a certified executive and life coach, and an early stage startup advisor. After 15+ years of building brands, businesses, teams, and communities from scratch and at scale, I now coach leaders who want to learn, grow, and shift so that they can live and lead in a more healthy, creative, effective way.
I'm a constant learner and optimist who welcomes juicy challenges, a connector of people and dots, a catalyst, and a storyteller. I mix ease and wisdom, humor and gravity, lightness and incisiveness, and I believe we are all more alike than we are different. I was born and raised on the East Coast, educated in the Midwest, and live with my husband and daughter in sunny Los Angeles.
I coach leaders who want to learn, grow, and shift so they can lead and live in a more effective, creative, healthy way. I also advise startups in their earliest stages on culture, hiring, management, community, and content.
