What
I was in your shoes. I was a founder and CEO of two venture-backed consumer-facing Internet companies in San Francisco for twelve-years. A remarkable coach helped me to transform my focus from tech start-ups to climate change. I then served as Executive Director of a prominent global climate policy non-profit for six-years. I have managed and mentored many people along the way. I have 20-years experience building and leading teams, overseeing all business functions from product to sales, strategic planning and managing investor and board relations.

I am a certified Integral Coach. My training equips me to work holistically with my clients – developing the cognitive, emotional, relational, and other capacities appropriate to my client’s needs and goals. Each coaching engagement follows a customized development plan with observable outcomes based on each client's unique goals.
Why
We all grow into adults with a certain idea of ourselves that informs our way of being. A way we act that our family, our community, and our work continually reaffirm as being right. Many of us continue in this mode our whole life. It protects and serves us. It’s comfortable. It works.
But what if there is something else? Some other way of being that creates new possibilities for how we see ourselves, what we do, how we respond, how we connect with others, how we experience the world?
Life is short and precious. Human potential is limitless and the needs of the world are great. By cultivating presence, self-awareness, and compassion through practice, we can each be agents of our own and the world’s transformation.
I want to collaborate with you to make that change.
