Biography
I provide confidential coaching for leaders making consequential decisions about transitions, growth and exit strategies, succession and team building, and what comes next. For over 20 years, I have helped executive leaders, founders, and professionals step back from the pressure, see the situation clearly, and move forward with greater confidence, trust, and intention. Named as "One of the Top 20 Executive Coaches in the USA," I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, Past President of the ICF Central Florida Charter Chapter, and currently serve as a leadership coach with Sykes College of Business at the University of Tampa.
EXECUTIVE COACHING & ADVISORY/ EXECUTIVE TRANSITIONS & EXIT STRATEGY
Confidential 1:1 engagements for founders/CEOs, professionals, and senior leaders. I work with leaders who are:
• evolving from founder to CEO, or entering an executive leadership role
• strengthening executive presence, leadership effectiveness, and trust
• leading through organizational change, complexity, conflict, or growth
• making consequential strategic decisions with incomplete information
• preparing for succession, sale, merger, retirement, or business exit
• considering what comes next personally and professionally
• seeking greater emotional self-regulation and resilience under pressure
My approach to executive coaching integrates behavioral leadership, emotional intelligence, metacognition, self-awareness, positive engagement, and values-aligned, strategic decision-making.
I have founded and operated businesses across multiple industries and have experienced the process of building and ultimately selling a business. That perspective informs my work with founders and owners contemplating an exit. I am not an investment banker, business broker, attorney, or financial advisor. My role is different: I help leaders think through the human, leadership, and strategic dimensions of transition—readiness, succession, identity, values, decision-making, stakeholder relationships, and what comes next.
