The Inspired Leader

I help high-achieving professionals—especially the ones who feel invisible despite their impact—step into leadership without selling out, burning out, or waiting years for someone to “finally see their potential.”

Using my neuroscience-based THRIVE Methodology, I’ve coached 700+ professionals in tech, product, and engineering to land promotions, elevate executive presence, and reclaim 5–15 hours per week—while getting paid more to do less of what drains them.

This isn’t a course or a mindset pep talk. It’s deep, strategic leadership transformation that helps you be seen as irreplaceable—fast.

Results include:

-$100K+ comp jumps and first-time Director roles at top firms
-Promotions to Director in under 90 days
-Escapes from toxic teams into high-impact, values-aligned leadership roles
-7-figure business growth in under 3 years through referrals and real client wins

Clients cross the chasm of tech from MAANG to startups to B2B Enterprise software.
If you're done being the best-kept secret and ready to play bigger—without burning out—let’s connect.

Founder and Coach

BetterUp

At BetterUp, I serve as a trusted coach to high-performing professionals navigating complex career moments—from preparing for executive promotion to recovering from burnout or rebuilding confidence after a layoff.

My clients are often rockstars on paper—engineering managers, product directors, high-potential VPs—yet they feel stuck, undervalued, or unsure how to take their leadership to the next level. Together, we transform that stuckness into clarity, strategic influence, and career momentum.

One client, a senior product manager at a Fortune 500 company, came to me after being passed over for promotion three times. Within four months of coaching, she redefined her leadership narrative, learned how to influence senior stakeholders, and landed the promotion with a $70K raise.

Another client, a recently laid-off engineering leader, felt completely destabilized after 15 years at the same company. We worked together to rebuild his identity, redesign his value proposition, and land a new role—this time in a VP seat, with more autonomy and better work-life balance.

I specialize in helping high achievers lead without burnout, navigate toxic environments, and claim their space at the executive table—without having to sell out, hustle harder, or become someone they're not. Using research-backed frameworks in neuroscience, positive psychology, and strategic influence, I help clients unlock lasting leadership growth.

I help high-achievers break into Director & VP roles—without working more & playing ugly politics.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗬𝗢𝗨
Being a high performer often feels like carrying the weight of the world, but without the recognition, title, or pay to match.

You’ve sacrificed time, health, and joy waiting for the leadership role you deserve, but let’s be real. Does this sound like you?

❌ Tired of being overlooked while less capable people rise?
❌ Sick of working harder but never getting ahead?
❌ Frustrated with leadership advice that tells you to "speak up more" or "be more visible"—when you already deliver results?


👉 You’re ready for leadership, but on your terms—without burnout, endless hustle, or pretending to be someone you’re not.
👉 You’re done watching others take credit while you stay the behind-the-scenes workhorse.
👉 You want impact, recognition, and the pay you deserve—without sacrificing your well-being.
👉 You believe in leading authentically—not playing politics or putting on a mask.

The truth is, you don’t have to work nonstop, play ugly politics, or wait for permission to lead.

You can shift from overworked, invisible, and exhausted to becoming a strategic, sought-after leader—one who commands respect, influence, and balance.
