With 20 years of global leadership experience at the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US National Counterterrorism Center, Nestlé Ltd., Unilever Ltd., Alliance Française—and a Harvard Business School MBA— I coach individuals and organizations to lead with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
Two ways to work together:
I have led small and large teams across Asia, Europe, and the United States to solve complete challenges in consumer markets and national security, bridging cultures, disciplines, and institutions:

My mom consistently asked me these questions and while I didn't know it then, she was my first and one of the best coaches in my life.
Like everyone else, I have navigated challenges and doubts since childhood; at 4 in my first dance class, at 13 after failing a critical science test, at 17 before taking the highest French exam in Bangladesh, and at 24 as a new immigrant in New York being told my degree from the London School of Economics and work experience wasn’t good enough for an entry level job.
Each moment whispered: “Maybe this isn’t for you.”
Later, as a Special Advisor at the FBI and an executive leading national partnerships for the US Government's National Counterterrorism Center, the doubts were more complex, but my approach was the same: reflect, ask myself questions, get good advice if I was lucky, and work on a way forward instead of shrinking back. Years later, in my Brown University coaching training, I learned to call these “powerful questions”—the heart of true coaching.
My coaching space for you is grounded and supportive. I believe you already have the solutions within you and I ask questions that cut through fear and habit. We work on your goals together to help you live your best story.
Does coaching work?
There’s research to back up what coaches have known for decades about the impact of coaching. Meta-analyses show that coaching significantly improves performance, goal attainment, self-belief, and resilience, shifting not just what people do but how they see themselves. Harvard Business School studies also find that most clients report better work performance and confidence, and organizations often see their investment returned several times.
Who do you work with?
1. I work with thoughtful, high-achieving professionals who want to work on resilience, are navigating change, or are wanting to lead in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
2. I partner with organizations to facilitate team sessions, moderate panels, and provide customized executive coaching for their seasoned and aspiring leaders.
What happens in a coaching session?
We slow down, clarify what’s really going on, and explore options together, and end with concrete actions you can test before we meet again.
How is coaching different from therapy or mentoring?
Therapy focuses on healing and mental health, and mentoring offers advice from someone who’s walked a similar path; coaching focuses on your present and future, treating you as a co-owner, helping you design your next steps.
How long do people typically work with you?
Most clients work with me for three to six months, meeting weekly or bi-weekly to implement new strategies between sessions and build lasting change, and some choose to continue longer as their roles and goals evolve.
