I've Sat in Your Chair. I've Felt the Pressure.
As Regional Counsel for Fortune 50 companies, I led cross-border teams through $200B+ in transactions across the Americas.
​
I've navigated:
-
2 AM calls before high-stakes board meetings
-
Executive teams publicly aligned but privately at war
-
Decisions where millions hung in the balance and reputations were on the line
​​
From U.S. boardrooms to LATAM markets, I learned this:
The constraint is never the complexity of the problem. It's getting smart people with competing priorities to commit to one path forward. Fast.
​
Today, as an ICF Master Certified Coach (top 4% globally), I bring that boardroom rigor to executive teams stuck on high-stakes transformations.
I don't add more strategy. I facilitate the conversations your team is avoiding.

The executives who thrive aren't the ones who handle stress best. They're the ones who eliminate unnecessary pressure through sharper decision-making

The Founding Story
I founded Strategic Lead, Inc. to solve a problem I saw too often: brilliant executives who knew their markets but struggled with the decision velocity required at the top.
​
The same dynamics that stalled $200B transactions: decision misalignment, hidden resistance, performative agreement, now stall AI transformations, reorganizations, and strategic pivots.
​
My work eliminates that gridlock.
​
If your leadership team is stuck between strategy and execution, let's talk.
