Over the last 15 years, I’ve seen a lot. I’ve worked at a Fortune 100 company, a young company in the midst of going public, and companies just getting off the ground. I’ve worked at non-profits and for-profits, and the US government. I’ve worked on the West Coast, the East Coast and abroad. I’ve been a founder, a manager and an Individual Contributor. More recently, I’ve mentored  start-up executives from the earliest stages of their business journeys. These experiences at the intersection of Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Social Impact, give me a unique perspective on what it takes to build a vital and impactful career. 

As I reflected on the things I loved doing in the jobs I've had - I realized that sitting across the table from the people I worked with was my favorite part. Helping them navigate their day to day challenges and connect their work to a meaningful career path was something I really excelled at. So I decided to make that my job - coaching people to build careers that satisfy their ambitions and fit their lives.

To complement my professional experience, I trained to become a coach through the Co-Active Training Institute - a well-respected Coach Training organization that has been training coaches for 25 years. As part of that training I was certified as a coach through the ICF (International Coaching Federation). Since I started coaching, I have logged more than 1000 hours of coaching experience with leaders at large and small companies.

At the end of 2024 I joined Evolution as a partner. Evolution is a coaching and leadership development firm, but it’s made up of individual business owners who come together to collaborate on powerful work. Entrepreneurs who agree that they want to be in a community of practice. A community optimized for learning.

My partners at Evolution have worked with founders and leaders at some of the world’s most impressive tech companies like Slack, Netflix, Spotify (and countless more)… And coaching is just one of the many services we provide. From leadership development and executive offsites to strategic planning and conflict resolution, my partners and I are passionate about tending to the human dynamics essential for impactful lasting businesses.
