Coaching services

My tagline is to be "demanding and passionate" – demanding first and foremost with myself (and a little bit with others too), and passionate about most things I do. Kindness matters too: hopefully you'll perceive this in my coaching style, even as it is mixed with straightforwardness. I look forward to listening to you, and helping you, on various topics listed below.

I was a senior manager at Google for 18 years where I mostly led Developer Relations teams, each headed by their own regional manager across half a dozen geographies spanning most timezones. I also sat on 3 hiring & promotion committees across all continents, and have conducted 400 formal interviews at Google. While at Google, I was also formally trained on coaching techniques and consequently coached 60 managers and individual contributors across all types of organisations and geographies within the company.

In 2021, I recorded the Coaching Experiment during which I videotaped my coaching of 4 women and men of different origins over the course of 6 months. Prior to Google, I worked as a strategy consultant and in business development, as I enjoyed being at the intersection of the technical and business worlds (I hold an engineering Master's degree and an MBA).

You'll find below a playlist of video testimonials of some of the people I have coached over the years (click on the top right icon to view the entire playlist or click on the names below).
