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.

Key Advantages

Break your personal glass ceiling:

Coaching helps you identify blind spots and break through your personal glass ceiling. It provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your limitations and address obstacles in your path. By leveraging psychological enablers, you can unlock higher levels of performance for yourself and your team. This approach ensures sustained progress, improved productivity, and the ability to spearhead a culture of continuous improvement.

Build a team of rockstars:

We address common pain points such as building a team of top performers, making critical hiring and firing decisions, managing board dynamics, nurturing co-founder relationships, deepening leadership team cohesion, overcoming communication barriers, and fostering a culture of constructive feedback.

Invest in continuous growth:

As a former operator, I have been in your shoes. I understand the pressures of complex, fast-paced environments and the unique challenges leaders face. Over the past 16 years, I’ve worked closely with Series A startups scaling for growth, ventures refining their portfolio strategies, organizations preparing for IPOs, boards aiming to elevate their impact, and companies seeking transformation.
