Hi! I’m Silvia, a certified Executive Coach with a Master’s in I/O Psychology from Harvard.

Whether you’re a CEO leading a large company, a startup founder scaling rapidly, or a venture fund partner making high-stakes decisions, leadership comes with its challenges. And I am here to help you unlock your leadership potential and drive meaningful impact.

Together, we’ll address challenges like building high-performing teams, aligning vision with strategy, and navigating organizational change. I love coaching people 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.

Organizational Behavioral Science

Navigating team dynamics can feel like solving a puzzle with missing pieces—miscommunication, conflicting priorities, and interpersonal challenges often derail progress. We delve into the intricacies of human behavior to uncover what drives collaboration and decision-making within your teams. By aligning individual strengths with organizational goals, we’ll help you create a culture of trust, productivity, and high performance.

Psychology of Stress

Stress is the silent saboteur of effective leadership—undermining clarity, draining energy, and leaving you feeling stuck. Through science-backed techniques, we guide you to transform stress into a source of resilience and strength. By mastering your response to pressure, you’ll build the mental grit to stay focused and effective, even in the most demanding situations, avoiding burnout and decision fatigue.

Leadership Through Change

Growth can feel like chaos—new challenges, evolving teams, and shifting priorities can leave even the most seasoned leaders feeling uncertain. As your organization evolves, your leadership must evolve too. Together, we’ll develop the skills and strategies you need to navigate the complexities of change, ensuring you stay adaptable, confident, and effective through every stage.
