With 20 years of global leadership experience at the FBI, NCTC, Nestlé, Unilever, and 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:
With 20 years of leadership experience in Asia, Europe, and North America -- across Unilever, Nestlé, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and Alliance Française, I bring a rare combination of corporate, government, and international perspectives to organizational problem-solving and people leadership. I partner with organizations that want emotionally intelligent, high-performing leaders and teams—without burning them out—by combining rigorous diagnosis, practical design, and disciplined follow-through.

I’ve lived this 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, 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, the doubts were more complex, but my approach was the same: ask myself these questions instead of shrinking back. Years later, in my Brown coaching training, I learned to call these “powerful questions”—the heart of true coaching.
This is why coaching works: in a grounded, supportive space, someone believes in your potential and asks the questions that cut through fear and habit. Those questions don’t give you the easy answers, they help you discover your own, and live your best story.
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.
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?
I work with thoughtful, high-achieving professionals who are at a crossroads, navigating change, or wanting to lead in a way that feels more authentic and sustainable.
What happens in a coaching session?
We slow down, clarify what’s really going on, explore options together, and end with one to three 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, helping you design your own answers and next steps.
How long do people typically work with you?
Most clients work with me for three to six months, meeting regularly enough to experiment between sessions and build lasting change, and some choose to continue longer as their roles and goals evolve.
