When you're pushing for the next level but feel stuck, getting feedback that doesn't match your impact, or facing decisions with no clear answer.
I help you see what's actually in the way — and move forward with clarity.
Book a strategy sessionI take on a small number of new clients each quarter — let's have a free strategy session to decide the fit.
You feel something is off — but you don't know if it's you, your org, or your industry.
You're spending more energy managing how you're perceived than doing the work itself.
You built your career on being great at one thing — and now the job is asking for something completely different.
You know what you're not good at — and you're afraid it's about to show up that changes how people see you.

All sessions are 1:1. I start with a free strategy session so you can decide if the fit and chemistry feel right.
The path you planned for looks nothing like it did a year ago. You're not sure if you need a new role, a new company, or a new chapter entirely — you just know something has to give.
We work on: separating burnout from misalignment, understanding what you actually want (not what you think you should want), and making the next move with conviction instead of panic.
You're adapting as fast as you can — new skills, new expectations, new scoreboard. But the feedback doesn't match the effort, and nobody's telling you how you're being evaluated.
We work on: reading the real scoreboard, understanding what your level actually demands, and building a leadership style that's yours — not a performance.
The higher you've climbed, the lonelier it gets. You're navigating politics, managing up, and making high-stakes calls with less and less honest input.
We work on: thinking partnership, navigating power dynamics without losing yourself, and making decisions with clear eyes when nobody will tell you the truth.
Drawing from 10+ years at LinkedIn and Instacart — where I grew from IC to Engineering Director leading 50+ engineers — I bring an insider understanding of how performance, promotion, and influence actually work inside tech organizations. Each transition required becoming a different kind of leader:
I navigated all of them as often the only Asian and woman in the room — which meant less room to figure it out in public.
I coach from pattern recognition, not frameworks or clichés. I help clients clarify what's really being asked, spot the patterns that are hard to see from the inside, and move forward with clarity and intention.

I was at the peak of my career — and I wasn't happier. Despite the title and the trajectory, I'd lost control of my time and sight of what made me feel fulfilled.
