Hi! I’m Silvia, a certified Executive Coach with a Master’s in I/O Psychology from Harvard.
I love coaching startup founders and venture fund partners who are passionate about their work, have exciting ideas, and really want to make an impact. My wholehearted, outcome-oriented approach is designed for those ready to grow as leaders and people.
Over the past 16+ years, I worked closely with CEOs and C-suite executives at hedge funds like PDT and Fortune 100 companies, as well as start-up founders backed by leading VCs like Andreessen Horowitz, Founder Collective, Menlo Ventures, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator. Past and present clients include DTC brands like Toms Shoes and Smalls, media companies like Genius, SAAS companies, HR tech like Pave and Finch, and biotech firms like Mammoth and HUUE, as well as Google, Youtube, and BMW, among many others.
