Coach · Workshop Designer · Facilitator
Over the last thirty-five years, I have transformed organizations, teams and individuals in financial and professional services companies. As I open a new chapter beyond the corporate world, I am channeling everything I have learned into the continuation of this work, now through Kindred Stride.
I am an Industrial Engineer with an MBA in Finance and three coaching credentials: CPCC (Co-Active Institute), ICF PCC, and Equine Assisted Coaching (Equine Alchemy). I speak three languages fluently: English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and can get by in French, German and Italian.
At engineering school I fell in love with Organizational Behavior and Psychology, but chose what I believed to be the more credible path: an MBA in Finance. Those years gave me an analytical foundation I still draw on, even as my work moved steadily toward the human side of organizations.
That admission changed everything. Over the next twenty-eight years at McKinsey, I held nine different roles in that space. They span learning design, facilitation, change management, team alignment, performance management, coaching, and Appreciative Inquiry, with colleagues and clients across the world.
My deepest experience is in individual and team transformation in professional services; where the stakes are high, the talent is exceptional, and the expectations are unforgiving.
As I step into this next chapter, I am focusing on coaching (individual and team) and workshop design and facilitation, two offerings that I often combine, with coaching deepening the learning a workshop begins.
"An organization is not a problem to be solved; it is an opportunity to imagine what is possible."
