As a former hiring manager, I found that offering a bespoke recruiting service compliments my consulting services. In the process of founding my business, I became a certified executive and leadership coach (CPCC, PCC, Integrative Enneagram). With over 2000 hours of professional coaching experience, and a diversity of coaching clients that range from CEOs of public companies, new people managers, Chiefs of Staff in tech, educators, journalists, artists and entrepreneurs -- I am constantly in awe of human potential. ‍ Previously, I scaled and led large teams as the Global Head of Administrative Operations at Asana and the Global Lead of Executive Operations at Block (Square). I've had a 20+ year career as an Executive Assistant and Chief of Staff in crypto, fintech, private equity, venture capital, tech, and biotech. For 10 years I was a film and video artist and exhibited at The Whitney Museum of American Art, The British Film Institute, The Director's Guild of America and on PBS television amongst others. In 2012 I co-founded the educational nonprofit Canyon Cinema Foundation and have been a dedicated nonprofit Board Director for over 15 years in the SF Bay Area. ‍ I'm originally from New York, am bicultural (French+ American), a mother to an inspiring little human and spouse to a creative soul. My enneagram tri-type is 1/4/6: the philosopher. I relish cooking and sharing meals, international travel, architecture, gardening, and vintage motorcycle riding. My spouse, Jean-Philippe Defaut and I have just launched a bespoke vintage car travel project and we're starting a new coaching venture to support adolescents and young adults as they navigate the present and future. I'm an advocate for for LGBTQIA+ and underrepresented minority rights.
