My Story

For over 25 years, I worked alongside senior leaders at major Silicon Valley companies, advising executives, developing leadership pipelines, leading organizational transformations, and guiding hundreds of leaders to their next levels. I sat in rooms where critical decisions got made. I shaped strategies that impacted thousands of people. The work was meaningful and the impact was real.

I know what it's like to be the person everyone counts on. The one who delivers. The one who seemingly has it all together.

I also know what it's like when that meaningful work stops feeling meaningful. When you're succeeding but something has shifted inside you. When you sense there's more available to you, but you're not sure how to pursue it without losing what you've worked so hard to build.

This is the territory I've walked myself.

At the height of my corporate career, I was invited onto the track for a top enterprise executive role. I declined. Not because I wasn't capable, but because something fundamental had shifted in me. I'd spent years telling myself "after I reach this level, THEN I'll build my own practice. THEN I'll make space for what really matters."

I reached that level. THEN kept not coming.

Eventually, my body forced the conversation my mind was avoiding. I burned out. Twice. The second time became the catalyst I couldn't ignore.

I finally made the leap. Built my own practice. Created what I'd been promising myself for years.

And I discovered something profound: The most accomplished professionals don't struggle because they're weak or because they've lost their edge. They struggle because the same patterns that created their success have reached a natural evolution point. They've become more than their achievements, but their lives haven't caught up yet.

This realization led me to identify the Achievement Mirage™ and develop Leading Enriched™, helping accomplished leaders create lives that feel as meaningful as they look impressive.

Since founding The Growth Ally, I've guided senior executives at Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and other leading companies through this evolution. Not because they're broken or lost their way, but because they're ready for what comes next.

Here's what I understand about people like us:

We're strong. We're competent. We've proven ourselves a thousand times over.

And sometimes, that strength makes it hard to admit we need support. We think we can push through this like we've pushed through everything else.

But this isn't something you push through. This is something you evolve through.

That's exactly why I created The Growth Ally.

Because powerhouse executives need more than advice. We need allies. We need people who understand the altitude we operate at, who won't judge us for wanting something different, and who can help us navigate this evolution without sacrificing what we've built.

What's often missing isn't just presence or alignment. It's a support system that understands what it means to operate at this level. People who get that asking for support isn't weakness, it's wisdom.

I get you. I've been where you are. And I'm here to walk this path with you.
