+LEADERSHIP PSYCHOLOGY
+BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE

Hi! I’m Silvia, a 3X founder, former operator, certified Executive Coach with a Harvard Master’s in I/O Psychology.

I work with CEOs and founders on their leadership effectiveness in fast-paced, high-growth environments. As a trusted advisor and confidant, I bring behavioral clarity to leadership, performance, and investment decisions, helping ambitious people operate with focus, composure, and impact.

My approach is outcome-oriented and designed for people who are deeply committed to their work, their growth, and leading at a higher level of impact.

Over the past 16+ years, I’ve worked closely with CEOs at Fortune 100 companies, FOs, partners at hedge & VC funds, as well as startup founders backed by leading VCs, including a16z, Founder Fund, Menlo, General Catalyst, Thrive Cap, LeftLane, Google, Balderton, and Y Combinator. My client portfolio spans DTC brands like Toms Shoes and Smalls, media companies like Genius, SaaS platforms, HR tech innovators like Pave and Finch, biotech firms like Mammoth and HUUE, and global enterprises including Google, YouTube, and BMW, among many others.

Leadership can be lonely — let’s navigate it together.

For Investors:
Beyond my coaching practice, I established Capital Behavior Partners to support private-market firms, family offices, and capital allocators in de-risking human capital decisions throughout the investment lifecycle.
