I am a certified leadership & life coach, an educator, an author, and a veteran of leading technical programs at world-class organizations in Silicon Valley, across the globe, across multiple sectors (private, governmental, intergovernmental, academic), and in multiple roles (fulltime, consulting). I’ve completed multiple graduate degrees, have lived on three continents, am married, and currently live in California.

• Trained and certified by a world class coach training organization (iPEC)

• Led technical programs with world-class engineering organizations (e.g., Google/YouTube), innovative startups (e.g., Cruise AV), global aid/humanitarian organizations (e.g., UNICEF, UNDP), and universities (e.g., Virginia Tech)

• Lived in Africa, Asia, and North America

I help clients achieve breakthroughs by being insightful, genuine, curious, intuitive, analytical, logical, compassionate, and trustworthy. I sometimes use humor to make a point, and will always ask probing, thought-provoking questions.
