About me
After a 25-year corporate career, I took a leap of faith and established DB Coaching & Consulting. My goal is to empower individuals to achieve success through professional and leadership development.
I worked across industries such as technology, investment banking, insurance, commercial real estate, publishing, and oil/gas, focusing on leadership development and learning. I had the privilege of working in the US, India, China, Mexico, Hong Kong, and Canada offering specialized guidance in coaching/mentoring, team effectiveness, talent management, performance management, change management, diversity and inclusion, and employee engagement at Fortune 500 companies. My journey extends beyond the people-side of the business: I was a business process consultant at a global IT consulting firm, led digital marketing and strategic partnerships at a tech startup, and earned recognition for my leadership at a non-profit organization, receiving a National Award for Chapter Excellence and being a part of the 2003 NASDAQ opening ceremony.
Throughout my career, I prepared over 600 managers for leadership roles, equipping them for success as new leaders, seasoned professionals, and individuals transitioning into new roles. I spearheaded leadership initiatives for organizations comprising more than 5000 employees during periods of significant growth, restructure, and acquisition, effectively driving human capital needs. For example, in China, thanks to my strategic approach, top management successfully onboarded their employees in their roles and achieved remarkable business results during the highly anticipated opening of the Beijing office.
I have a BBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in Education with a focus on corporate training and intercultural communication from New York University.
I enjoy sharing my insights at conferences and am honored to be a guest speaker at the Women’s Global Leadership Conference, Value of a Veteran, Diversity & Inclusion in Oil & Gas, and Energy Conference Network, sharing my expertise on women’s leadership, DEI, mentoring, and more. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family.
