I spent a decade inside Salesforce leading cross-functional teams through rapid growth, major reorgs, and the first wave of generative AI. I coached directors into VP roles. I co-founded Soberforce. I built things I'm proud of inside a system I genuinely loved.

And then I reached a point where the distance between who I was becoming and who the role needed me to be had gotten wide enough that I couldn't close it anymore.

I didn't have language for that experience yet. I would later name it moral strain, the specific erosion that accumulates when a leader is asked, for too long, to act against what they know is right inside a system they also genuinely care about.

That experience and the 20+ years before it at Dell, BMC Software, and across publishing, non-profits, and association management became the foundation for the work I do now.

What I Do

I'm an executive leadership advisor. I work with senior tech leaders — Senior Directors, VPs, SVPs, founders, C-suite — on the decisions and dynamics that are genuinely complex and hard to process inside the organization.

This isn't coaching in the way most people use the word. It's a structured thinking partnership built for leaders who don't need motivation; they need clarity. Specifically, the structural clarity to see what's actually happening inside the systems they lead, make decisions they can stand behind, and lead in a way that holds together over time.

The leaders I work with aren't struggling with performance. They're struggling with coherence, the growing gap between what they're doing and what they know is right. My work makes that gap visible, navigable, and ultimately closable.

What I Bring

I'm a published author. My first book, The Bad Girls Club: Promises of a Spirituality-Based Recovery, came out in January 2025, with two more in progress, including a forthcoming work on the Seven Tenets of Integrated Leadership. I'm an ICF-accredited coach, certified professional co-active coach and recovery coach, though the work I do now has evolved well beyond traditional coaching frameworks. I also bring 40+ years of personal recovery which is where I first learned that clarity without anesthesia is the only kind worth having.

Everything I do traces back to the same conviction: that the leaders who shape our organizations can build the capacity to stay present to reality, exercise influence responsibly, and act with integrity over time, without fragmenting themselves to do it.
