MY COACHING JOURNEY
I began coaching in 2012 as a founding instructor at the first immersive coding academy on the West Coast. I coached and mentored hundreds of new developers, instilling not only best tech practices but also guiding them to cultivate the emotional intelligence and personal insight to transform into team leaders, startup founders, visionaries, and awesome product developers. Witnessing the profound impact it had on their lives, I fell in love with coaching!
My coaching journey deepened as CTO of Wisdom Labs, where I created products that leveraged the latest research in mindfulness and neuroplasticity to transform the focus, resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills in our client companies, from startups to the Fortune 500.
Today, I leverage my 30 year tech career and intimate knowledge of the mechanics of transformation to empower tech leaders to move past their inner obstacles, find a new stride, and live a more fulfilling career.
MY CAREER IN TECH
I launched my first startup with fellow Computer Engineering grads in 1995, and immediately I was hooked! I loved the challenge of working with cutting edge technology, zeroing in on an emerging need, and the rapid product development that could only happen on the web at that time.
Since then, I've founded or was an early stage leader for several startups; navigating rapid hiring and scaling, multiple acquisitions, layoffs and downsizing, angel & seed pitches, and too many product pivots to count.
Over the last 30 years, I've gotten to know the lay of the land, and can help you lead confidently and tap into a resilience that keeps you learning, growing, and enjoying the ride.
