ABOUT ME
Driven by a desire to connect with people, I draw on a wealth of life experiences, an extensive career, and my coach experience and training to help clients achieve their professional and/or personal goals.
I enjoyed a remarkable 36+ year career in International Finance, focused on Emerging Market countries and companies, as an Investment Banker, in Sales and Trading, and as a CEO. Leading teams of 5-20 people for 25 years, the professional role that I enjoyed the most was mentoring many talented people and developing their skill sets.
I graduated from the College of the Holy Cross and completed a Master's in International Affairs at Columbia University. I received my Coaching Certification from the Hudson Institute of Coaching, qualified as a Professional Certified Coach from the International Coaching Federation, and am certified to deliver feedback using the Hogan Personality Assessment tool.
How I help
My coaching approach begins with an assessment of my client's strengths and tendencies, as well as how other's see them. Subsequently, we build on strengths and on how to manage weaknesses, establish goals and then work together to accomplish the goals.
Typically, the work involves changing habits that "get in the way" of achieving one's highest potential. I draw on my professional experience to address "real world" challenges, providing strategies to improve awareness, communication skills, and emotional intelligence.

Senior executives who have been identified as high potential leaders at public and private companies in a variety of industries;

I do not advertise using company logos, but I have coached individuals at over 20 companies, including Fortune 500 corporations, leading financial services firms, as well as companies in the media, retail and real estate sectors. References from clients are available upon request.
