Behind every good athlete, there is a great coach.

 

There isn't a top athlete--from Serena Williams to Roger Federer to LeBron James, who did not need a mentor to help them reach the top of their profession. 

 

Your career is like that of a professional athlete. You may have the determination, the skills, and the vision, but there are times when you need expert guidance to ensure you stay on the right path and apply your talents best and work on your shortcomings to reach your goals. 

 

Work/Life balance is a myth. It implies that work is terrible, life is excellent and separate. On the contrary, work is part of life.

 

You will learn to treat work the same way you do life and amplify what you love. You can't achieve your professional goals if you don't optimize your overall life. 

Over the last decade, I’ve coached over 150 senior executives, founders, and emerging leaders across finance, tech, healthcare, government, and social impact. From guiding someone into a C-suite role, to helping a founder rebuild confidence after burnout, to supporting a leader as they pivot to a purpose-driven chapter—my work lives at the intersection of transformation and clarity.

 

My goal is to help you see yourself more accurately, get clear about how to best play to your strengths, and learn the skills to achieve your dream without stress. 

My Story

Redefining Success, Leading with Purpose 

In recent years, I’ve entered a new chapter—juggling the care of aging parents, raising children, and leading at a high level. While I’ve experienced significant professional success, the weight of it all often felt overwhelming. It forced me to pause and ask hard questions: What really matters? What version of success am I chasing—and is it mine?

For a long time, I believed success meant fulfilling responsibilities, accumulating wealth, and climbing ever higher. But the truth I came to see is this: real fulfillment comes from doing meaningful work with people who share your values. That shift in mindset changed the trajectory of my career—and led me to help others create careers that feel aligned, not just impressive on paper.

My entrepreneurial journey started in my twenties when I launched a strategic consulting firm for financial services companies. Those early years were fast-paced and full of learning. But the 2008 financial crisis tested everything. I pivoted the business into a data analytics firm serving asset and wealth management clients—a move that ultimately led to a successful acquisition by a publicly traded company.

After the acquisition, I stepped into a global leadership role overseeing divisions including AI and digital. Leading innovation at scale taught me how to balance big vision with execution—how to build systems that grow while staying grounded in impact.

After five years in the corporate world, I followed a new calling. I co-founded a value-based primary care practice focused on healthcare equity in underserved Black and Brown communities. By combining data, AI, and community-informed care, we addressed systemic gaps in healthcare. Our work led to another acquisition, where I continue to develop tech-enabled care solutions for Medicare and Medicaid populations.

These pivots brought me closer to the work I now do through Coaching Metta. I founded it to support professionals navigating transitions—those moments when the personal and professional collide, and clarity is hard to find. Many of my clients are high-achievers who feel stuck or stretched too thin. They want to stay engaged—but on their terms. I help them get there.

What does "Coaching Metta Mean?

The name Coaching Metta comes from the Buddhist practice of Metta meditation, also known as loving-kindness meditation. Metta means unconditional goodwill, compassion, and benevolence—qualities that are essential in personal growth and how we navigate our careers and leadership journeys.

 

Just as Metta meditation helps break down internal barriers to self-acceptance and well-being, Coaching Metta is about breaking free from limiting beliefs, external expectations, and outdated definitions of success. My coaching approach blends strategic guidance with deep self-reflection, helping professionals and entrepreneurs make intentional career decisions that align with their values and aspirations.

 

Success isn’t just about achievement—it’s about clarity, fulfillment, and leading with purpose. Coaching Metta is here to help you redefine success on your terms, confidently navigate change, and build a career and life that feel authentically yours.
