     Land With Impact.

Executive advisory for leaders ascending to the C-suite, preparing for boards, and elevating their sphere of influence as executives.

About

​Here's what I've learned after 20+ years in leadership and coaching 150+ executives: the gap between your intent and how you're perceived can define your entire career.

​

I work with ambitious leaders who are ascending to the C-suite, preparing for boards, or elevating their influence as sitting executives. These are leaders who refuse to lose themselves while climbing to the top and want to be respected across the organization and beyond, influential with boards, investors, teams, and the markets.

 

My approach focuses on what actually moves the needle: heightened self-awareness and regulation under pressure, crafting compelling narratives about your value, elevating your communications across every constituency, delivering visible results that build credibility, and cementing strategic relationships that amplify your influence. For senior executives facing critical decisions, I work on retainer as an embedded partner.

​​

The result: you differentiate yourself, command attention in every room that matters, and create the legacy you want—on your terms.

​

If you're ready to lead with intent and land with impact, let's talk.

QUESTIONS?

How long do engagements typically last?

You determine the timeline based on your objectives and progress. Some clients work with me intensively during a specific transition (3-7 months), while others engage on retainer for ongoing counsel as sitting executives. Many continue with periodic touchpoints quarterly or as needed after achieving their initial goals. There are no rigid contracts—our partnership adapts to your evolving needs.

 

What does working together involve?

Every engagement is tailored to your specific goals, values, and circumstances. We begin by creating a clear roadmap for our work together, then focus on the capabilities that will drive your success: self-awareness under pressure, compelling communication, strategic relationship-building, and delivering tangible outcomes. You'll also have access to my network of vetted specialists—whether you're preparing for a board role, managing a complex transition, or positioning yourself for a significant opportunity.

 

What is the return on investment?

Beyond the financial commitment, this work requires your time, reflection, and dedication to growth. For executives accustomed to constant output, it's a rare opportunity to invest in yourself strategically. The ROI manifests in concrete ways: roles you secure, boards you join, respect you command, and the reputation you build. My clients consistently report that the value far exceeds the investment, which is why many continue working with me long after their initial objectives are met.

 

Will I meet other executives in your practice?

That's entirely your choice. I offer curated Advisory Groups where executives at similar career stages connect, share insights, and learn from one another—often with guest speakers who are industry leaders. I also facilitate introductions to specialists as your needs arise. Many clients value the community aspect; others prefer one-on-one work exclusively. Both approaches are effective.

 

What's it like working with you?

The relationship matters. Several clients have shared detailed [testimonials/feedback] on their experiences working with me. I bring 20+ years of leadership experience, insights from coaching 150+ executives, and direct perspective from having held the roles you're pursuing or currently occupy. Clients describe our work as strategic, challenging, and transformative—focused on real outcomes, not theory. Independent client evaluations consistently rate the experience 5 out of 5.

 

What kind of results can I expect?

Results vary based on your goals, but clients typically experience:

Career progression - Promotions to executive and C-Suite roles, board appointments, or strategic moves to organizations that align with their values

Enhanced credibility - Greater respect and persuasiveness with boards, investors, regulators, peers, and teams

Strategic visibility - Clearer personal brand and reputation that opens doors to new opportunities

Sustained success - Leadership approaches that create lasting outcomes and define how they're remembered

Your results will align with what matters most to you. If you're ready to discuss how we might work together, let's talk.
