Hey, I’m Alex 👋 I partner with ambitious mid-career professionals to maximize success + satisfaction at work by tackling their biggest challenges head on.

Unlock your leadership potential.

Supporting leaders from companies like:

Go further, with confidence.

Being a passionate leader is draining.

You show up everyday and give everything you have… 

You care (a lot) about the growth of both your people and the business, and nothing is more satisfying than seeing the impact of all your hard work. 

You go above and beyond, but it never seems to feel like enough: 

  • Will I be able to tackle the next challenge?

  • Am I doing right by my people and the business?

  • Am I respected by my teams, peers, and other leaders? 

On one hand, the doubts keep the fire burning under you - they keep you motivated.


On the other hand, they stop you from feeling secure - they keep you stressed. 

You (mostly) believe that you do a great job, but it also feels like it could get taken away, at any time, with one wrong move. 

So you keep grinding. 

You want to be able to enjoy your success - to make decisions without second-guessing yourself, empower your capable team, or take a vacation where you actually unplug -

But it just feels too risky - like you don’t deserve it, yet.

You want to feel like an inspiring, influential leader, but you just can’t seem to trust yourself (or anyone else). 

What will it take for you to feel confident in who you are and where you’re headed? 

Lead from strength, not fear.

Being a great leader isn’t about being perfect.

It’s easy to forget when you’re facing increasing levels of uncertainty, pressure, and change.

You have so many people relying on you and so much at stake that it feels like you need to have the right answer, all the time.

You don’t have to do it all yourself.

Picture yourself hitting that evasive flow state - the sweet spot where things just work - where you can release the pressure valve that feels so close to bursting:  

  • Your team has ownership, influence, and recognition.

  • Your people feel how much you care and give it right back. 

  • You all enjoy working hard, toasting at the end of the day to a job well done.

  • You can breathe a sigh of relief, confident in your position and abilities.

It is possible, and my clients work with me because they’re ready to make this happen, now.

Here’s what passionate leaders in strategy & operations
say about working with me:

  • Transformative Leadership Experience

    “I had the privilege of working with Alex for 12 sessions and the experience was transformative. Alex's expertise in leadership development was invaluable as she guided me to define my unique leadership style. What truly set Alex apart was her ability to create a space for open dialogue about my challenges. She listened attentively and empowered me to generate effective solutions. Our work was instrumental in my professional growth.

    Alex's coaching went beyond the surface, delving into the core aspects of leadership and self-discovery. Her approach was insightful, supportive, and tailored to my needs. She demonstrated a remarkable ability to extract key insights from my thoughts, even when I rambled. Her guidance was invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone seeking a coach who understands leadership intricacies and fosters development with genuine care and expertise.”

    - Alison, COO, SMB

  • Positive & Growth-Oriented Mindset

    “Working with Alex was empowering experience. Alex has a remarkable ability to listen attentively and ask probing questions to dig deeper into my thoughts and emotions. One of her superpowers is her ability to synthesize dynamics easily and guide her clients to understand the root cause of an issue. In each session, I had a breakthrough. Alex helped me recognize patterns and behaviors that were contributing to my professional challenges, and helped me adopt a more positive and growth-oriented approach.

    I was blown away with Alex’s dedication to my success. She went above and beyond to keep me motivated, challenging me to push my boundaries and strive for excellence.

  • Tackled Imposter Syndrome

    “Alex was a fantastic coach during a time of heightened responsibility and change in my career. What made her stand above the dozens of other coaches is that Alex understood how to tap into 2 critical things more than most - she connected me back to my values, celebrated the parts of my identity that exacerbated my feelings of imposter syndrome, and focused on my strengths.

    Alex had a disarming way of allowing me to explore vulnerable parts of my professional identity and develop much-needed skills to alleviate my high-achieving, perfectionist, workaholic tendencies. Nine months after working with Alex, I still pull on her coaching when I'm stuck”

    - Tam, HR Business Partner, Danaher

    Throughout our sessions, Alex adeptly identified and eliminated mental models that hindered my progress, allowing me to approach my job search with a newfound sense of determination and clarity. I am deeply grateful for her unwavering accountability, dedication, and expertise.

    If you're seeking a coach who genuinely invests in your success and empowers you to reach your full potential, I wholeheartedly recommend Alex.”

Hey, I’m Alex.

I’m an ex-management consultant and certified executive coach obsessed with using positive psychology to develop high-performing leaders. 

After spending 10+ years managing projects and people across finance, tech, non-profits, and consulting, I learned the obvious: a business is made up of people.

Everything comes down to managing, influencing, and inspiring others, so the best leaders are ones who can motivate their people towards a common goal.

But, that’s not that easy when faced with pressure in every direction.

My clients are senior leaders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and other ambitious professionals ready to increase their impact by embracing their strengths, tackling their blind spots, and optimizing their efficiency.

Together, we work through solutions to their biggest challenges while identifying patterns to support long-term change. If you’re ready to feel engaged, energized, and effective at work again, let’s chat.

Psychology, Harvard | MBA, UC Berkeley | ICF, Certified Coach

Leadership is always easier said than done. 

You know what you need to do - you just want a little help doing it.

You’ve read the leadership books, sat through trainings, maybe even gotten your MBA, but you still struggle to figure out how to confidently:

  • See the bigger picture: Set aside time for high-level, strategic thinking while fire-fighting and navigating internal politics.

  • Manage people up, down, and sideways: Influence and inspire others while holding those same people accountable and making decisions they might not always like. 

  • Take care of your life outside work: Fit in sleep, family, and hobbies without worrying that everything will come crashing down by stepping away for 5 minutes (or 5 days). 

Because these skills require iteration and practice to get right (the good news: you don’t have to do it alone).   

We focus on 3 keys areas to level up your leadership:

Manage your time

  • Get sh*t done, without burning bridges

  • Prioritize the things that really matter

  • Learn to both listen and get heard

Develop your teams

  • Build teams you trust with your eyes closed

  • Empower your people to own their work

  • Help others reach their career goals 

Rewire your thoughts

  • Swap self-doubt for confidence

  • Mitigate stress and thought spirals

  • Embrace decisions (even the tough ones)

We’ll define your authentic leadership style, identify your areas for opportunity, and set you up for sustainable, long-term success.

3 simple steps to get started:

1/ Request a discovery call to learn more about coaching and assess if it’s a good fit for you.

2/ Complete your intake session (and survey) to lay the foundation for our work together by diving in deep.

3/ Invest in your growth via 8 one-to-one sessions over 3-months, custom activities, and accountability to action.

Here’s what ambitious, high-performers in finance, venture capital, and consulting say about working with me:

  • Career Clarity & Confidence

    “Working with Alex has been an absolute game-changer for me!! From our very first session, I knew I was in capable hands. Alex possesses a unique ability to listen intently, understand my aspirations, and provide tailored guidance. She gets it. Through her insightful coaching, I gained a deeper understanding of my strengths, weaknesses, and professional goals. She helped me navigate complex career decisions with clarity & confidence.

    Alex is relatable, organized and committed to her work - I highly recommend!

    - Lindsey, Executive Director, Nomura

  • More Energized & Fulfilled

    “Alex is the perfect combination of supportive, direct, encouraging, and challenging. She understands fears, pressures, motivations, and thinking traps to a tee. Without her, it would've taken me much longer to realize that my professional environment wasn't serving me, and I needed to take the leap into the unknown to find a better place that was more energizing, fulfilling, and values-aligned.

    If you’re considering changing paths, there's nobody I'd recommend more.”

    - Ariel, VC Principal turned Angel Investor

  • Decision-Making Confidence

    “Alex has the unique ability to expand your perspective and uncover solutions. I came into our first session of her 1:1 Coaching Program having jumbled thoughts and a narrow view of my career. She pulled out meaning from these thoughts, helped me organize what I actually want, and held me accountable for putting in the work to get there.

    After 6 months of her coaching, I feel confident in my decision-making and path forward. I couldn’t have gotten to this spot on my own, and am thankful for all the structure and support Alex provided!”

    - Caroline, Design Manager, MediaHub

  • New Job & Newfound Sense of Confidence

    “Thanks to Alex, I not only landed the job I had been aspiring to but also gained a newfound confidence in myself and my abilities. With her support and expertise, I was able to transform my mindset and remove the mental roadblocks that had been holding me back.

    Her mentorship has had a profound impact on my career, and I can't thank her enough for her guidance.”

    -Elizabeth, Director of International Relations, Venture Capital

  • Support Managing Uncertainty

    “Alex is an incredible coach!

    I'd never tried coaching before, but I needed help organizing my thoughts and managing uncertainty in my career and personal life. Alex helped me gain clarity by supporting me in thinking through my values and re-discovering my strengths.

    I really appreciated Alex's holistic approach and would recommend her 100%!”

    - Paola, Senior Director, EY-Parthenon
