About
Career coach for ambitious professionals.
Former tech leader turned ICF-certified coach, helping you lead, pivot or grow your career with clarity and confidence.
From solving tech problems to helping people solve career ones
Before becoming a coach I spent over 20 years in software engineering. I thrived on solving problems, writing clean code and building things that worked. For years, I had no desire to manage people. In fact, I actively avoided it. I was the strong individual contributor who got things done, and I was happy to stay that way.
But like many high performers, leadership found me. I stepped into team lead roles without training, without guidance, and without much of a clue. I struggled, winged it, and slowly got better – learning the hard way what it really meant to lead.
Over time, I started to see leadership differently – not as managing tasks, but as growing people. I shifted my approach, focused on trust and development, and found that what I loved most wasn’t the work itself – it was helping my team step up, believe in themselves, and succeed.
That’s what eventually led me to coaching. I trained as a coach to be a better leader, and saw just how transformative those conversations could be.
I began coaching outside of work and quickly saw the difference it made. Soon it became the part of my week I enjoyed most. It felt like everything I’d learned across two decades of leading, mentoring, and problem-solving finally came together.
Now, it’s what I do full-time – helping ambitious professionals be great leaders, grow their confidence, navigate change, and thrive in careers that genuinely fit.
Professional credentials
I’m an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation – the gold standard in global coaching. My work is grounded in science-backed tools, drawing on principles from neuroscience, positive psychology, and career development frameworks.
While credentials matter, what matters more is the outcome: my clients feel more confident, focused, and in control of their careers – and that’s where the real value lies.
What it’s like to work with me
Coaching with me is structured, practical, and focused on moving you forward. I won’t just listen and nod – I’ll ask the right questions, challenge your thinking, and help you find clarity, confidence, and direction.
Whether you’re stepping into leadership, reassessing your career, or navigating change, I tailor our work to your goals – using a proven process built around four core pillars:
Clarity
We define what you really want, what’s getting in the way, and what success looks like for you.
Mindset
We uncover unhelpful thinking patterns like self-doubt, perfectionism or imposter syndrome – and build new ways of thinking.
Action
We turn insight into momentum, with clear next steps that feel realistic and motivating.
Accountability
We keep you on track, with the right balance of support and stretch. As your goals evolve, we adjust your plan to keep progress relevant and achievable.
Most of all, I create a space where you can think clearly, speak honestly, and get unstuck – so you can move forward in a way that fits you.
Not sure if coaching is right for you?
That’s completely normal. Whether it’s your first time working with a coach, or you’ve had a less-than-great experience in the past – it’s okay to feel unsure.
Coaching is a personal decision, and the right fit matters. That’s exactly what a discovery call is for: a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see if it’s the right step for you.
No pressure. No commitment. Just a relaxed conversation to see if it clicks.
What my clients say
“Initially, I was dubious about coaching and questioned if it would work for me. 8 weeks later, I have a different mindset and I’m mentally stronger. I’ve grown so much, and I cannot thank Angie enough. I couldn’t believe how far I’d come, after just a few sessions.“

“Angie’s guidance and support has been invaluable in helping me set realistic goals and incorporating more discipline into my life. She has a natural gift in reading people and understanding their needs by asking the right questions. We worked through insightful exercises that enabled me to assess my own progress and challenge my thinking patterns. With her guidance, I’ve made significant progress in my professional and personal life.”
