Everyone needs someone to confide in—someone who isn’t their boss, spouse, family, or coworker. Someone who can listen without judgment, provide clarity, and help untangle the stories we tell ourselves—stories that may or may not reflect the truth but that shape our hopes, fears, and decisions. These stories deserve to be heard and understood, especially when they influence pivotal moments in life: making a big career move, addressing dissatisfaction at work that spills into personal relationships, or simply seeking a sense of purpose and direction.

That’s where my coaching practice comes in. With 30 years of experience at Microsoft—as an engineer, a product manager, a Corporate Vice President, and later as a consultant and advisor—I bring not just technical and managerial expertise but also the deep insights that come from decades of guiding others (and having plenty of missteps). My practice is rooted in the International Coaching Federation (ICF) standards, ensuring a professional and empathetic approach to helping clients gain awareness of their goals and create actionable plans to achieve them.

Whether you’re a technology executive leading a thousand-person team, a small business owner navigating workplace challenges, someone contemplating a career change, or simply a person seeking greater clarity and focus in your life, I’m here to help. My clients come from diverse walks of life, but they all share one thing in common: a desire to move forward with purpose and confidence.
