After 25 years in the tech sector leading sales and go-to-market teams, I now coach leaders navigating growth, change, and high expectations of themselves and others. My coaching is grounded in real leadership experience, blending empathy, commercial acumen, and honest accountability.

I help leaders connect commercial ambition with human leadership.
Space. I create a confidential space where you can think out loud, test options, and be honest about what’s happening. The pace and pressure rarely let up; my role is to help you slow down enough to see clearly and choose how you want to lead.
Style. My style combines empathy with clear-eyed accountability: we talk honestly about how you feel, and we stay anchored to the results, relationships, and culture you’re responsible for.
Support. Senior leaders describe the work as supportive and stretching: a safe place to be real and a challenging partner who won’t let you stay stuck.
Impact. It’s common to hear after an early session, “I didn’t realize how scattered I felt until we slowed down,” or “I finally said out loud what I’d been carrying.” We focus on what matters most right now, and how you can feel clearer, steadier, and more powerful.
Leadership should cultivate growth, not constrain it.
It shapes how people feel about their work and themselves. My most meaningful moments in leadership were watching people step into their own voice: speaking up in a senior room, making a difficult call, or having a courageous conversation.
Coaching lets me spend my days in that space — asking thoughtful questions, challenging with care, and celebrating real progress in real time. I value growth, curiosity, empathy, and accountability, and I bring those to every conversation.
For more than 25 years, my career sat at the intersection of technology, sales, and leadership.
At Cisco Canada I led channel sales and programs, sales operations, and software go-to-market teams — building new routes to market and accelerating recurring revenue. Later, as country leader for AppDynamics, I was responsible for scaling a high-performing team, navigating rapid change.
I championed culture, inclusion, and talent development, co-creating national mentoring initiatives and serving as Chief Diversity Officer.
The common thread was always developing leaders, not just hitting numbers. The conversations I remembered weren’t the deal reviews; they were the moments when someone found their footing, made a brave choice, or reclaimed their confidence.
The pivot to coaching.
After leaving Cisco in 2023, I chose to focus my work fully on leadership development and completed my Certified Leadership Coach training with Essential Impact.
I now have the privilege of working with leaders and aspiring leaders across technology driven organizations.
Stepping fully into coaching didn’t feel like starting over; it felt like using my leadership experience more intentionally: as a thinking partner, helping you grow in ways that are effective, sustainable, and true to who you are.
I work with leaders to link personal growth to clear, practical outcomes. I’m at my best when I’m helping my clients turn insight into meaningful change.
Culture creation. Shaping clear norms and rituals so teams thrive, not just deliver.
Communication. Simplifying complex messages and holding difficult conversations with clarity and respect.
Presence and brand. Building an authentic, visible leadership presence.
Leading through change. Letting go of work, keeping people aligned, and creating an environment where talent grows.
I take my craft seriously, grounded in formal coach training and senior executive experience.
