Senior Tech Leader
Leading with Purpose, Scaling with Strategy & Grounded in Mindfulness
I believe leadership is an intentional practice rooted in mindfulness, empathy, and purpose. True leadership empowers teams not only to overcome challenges but to innovate boldly and grow sustainably while maintaining balance between business goals, career development, and personal well-being. Navigating high-stress growth periods such as rapid scaling, pre-IPO preparations, acquisitions, or successful public offerings demands resilience, clear vision, and unwavering focus. I have led teams through these critical junctures, bringing steady, thoughtful leadership that aligns operational rigor with a human-centered culture.
Currently, I lead a team of eighteen at a high-growth Series C SaaS company based in San Francisco. My focus is on shaping leadership practices that fuel both operational excellence and a thriving team culture even under intense pressure.
Meditation Coach
I offer an approachable and inclusive style of mindfulness instruction designed to resonate with individuals at all experience levels. Through both live and pre-recorded sessions on Insight Timer, I create grounded, relatable experiences that support participants in deepening their practice. My recorded offerings include a variety of guided meditations focused on stress relief, relaxation, self-awareness, and specialized techniques such as body scans.
As a leader, I believe that cultivating mindfulness is essential—not only for personal well-being but also for fostering resilience, clarity, and emotional intelligence within teams. Mindful leadership promotes thoughtful decision-making, effective communication, and a compassionate workplace culture, all of which are critical to sustainable success in today’s fast-paced environments
