Former Director of Engineering · Executive & Team Coach for Women in Tech Leaders
Before becoming a coach, I worked as a software engineer, engineering manager, and Director of Engineering, including senior leadership roles at DigitalOcean.
I’ve built and scaled engineering teams, led through rapid growth and change, navigated executive rooms, and delivered results in high-pressure, male-dominated environments.
I wasn’t just advising leaders.
I was one.
For years, I was often the only woman in the room.
I delivered strong results, built high-performing teams, and kept raising the bar, yet I still had to learn the unspoken rules of leadership growth the hard way.
No one teaches you how to:
• shift from execution to strategy
• increase visibility without self-promotion burnout
• navigate power dynamics and senior conversations
• lead with confidence in environments not built for you
That’s what I now help women in tech do faster, smarter, and with far less frustration.
I also host the podcast From a Woman to a Leader, where women in tech share honest stories about how they actually got where they are. The more of us who talk about this openly, the easier it gets for the woman coming up behind us.
My coaching is practical, strategic, and grounded in real leadership experience.
I combine:
• real-world tech leadership
• executive coaching frameworks
• systems thinking
• honest, focused conversations
No fluff.
No generic confidence advice.
Just real progress.
I partner with:
• women in engineering and tech leadership roles
• rising managers ready for director-level impact
• teams navigating growth, trust, and collaboration
• organizations investing in leadership development
