Meet Christina

I develop leaders, advance women in leadership, and help organizations navigate AI-driven change.

Legacy-Building Leadership

Whether you’re a leader committed to your own growth, or an organization investing in the leaders who matter most, you want a coach who gets the complexity of the work and still sees you: the human behind the title.

As a consultant and coach, I’ve spent 25+ years partnering with leaders, teams, and organizations across 50+ countries to produce the clarity, confidence, and capability that create lasting change.

I started as a management consultant at PwC and IBM, leading large-scale, tech-driven change initiatives and building leadership capabilities in Fortune 500 environments. Then, I launched my own coaching and consulting practice focused on developing leaders who want to stand out through their unique legacy. I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders, from the C-Suite to emerging leaders to everyone in between, across multiple industries.

By helping leaders create their legacy, I’m building my own.

From a globe-trotting consultant to an ICF-credentialed executive coach.

For many years, I had an enviable career on paper: a six-figure salary, designer suits, 100K frequent-flier status, and travel to more than 50 countries. I also had weekends paralyzed by anxiety and a body telling me what my head refused to hear.

What I was refusing to hear: this pace wasn’t sustainable, and the life I was building wasn’t the one I actually wanted.

By 2009, I could no longer ignore it. After nearly 14 years of leading organizations through large-scale transformational change and growing leaders across multiple geographies with PwC and IBM Consulting, I left to start my own practice to focus on developing leaders who want to stand out through their unique legacy.

Along the way, I founded the Qatar Professional Women’s Network, a community I led to more than 2,000 members. I’ve lived and worked across four continents, parented three boys while building a global practice, and become a regular voice on podcasts and in media covering women’s leadership, organizational change, and AI adoption.

Fifteen years later, I’m doing the work that matters most to me while raising my family and building a life that reflects what I value. It’s taught me what bold leadership looks like: staying grounded in values, navigating complexity with agility, and creating lasting impact. This is what makes me the right partner for the work we’ll do together.

My Philosophy

What I Believe About Leadership

I coach from a belief that every leader possesses deep wisdom and strengths they haven’t fully tapped. My role is to help you access that wisdom, especially when facing high-stakes decisions and complex organizational challenges.

While I focus on professional ambitions, I take a holistic view. Who you are at work is inseparable from who you are as a whole person. This matters most for senior leaders navigating the unique pressures and isolation that come with executive responsibility.

Transformation happens at the intersection of challenge and support. I ask the hard questions, hold steady while you work through them, and tailor my approach to your personality, goals, and the complexity you’re navigating. My clients value the clarity and structure I bring, along with the flexibility to meet them where they are.

"Christina has a remarkable way of getting you to really look within and consider things you hadn't considered before. She helped me build my confidence tenfold."

“I was managed by Christina during her time at IBM but have also been coached by her since she left. I would highly recommend her as a leadership coach. Christina has a remarkable way of getting you to really look within and consider things you hadn’t considered before. She helped me build my confidence tenfold and the goals I first set when we started our coaching relationship grew way beyond what I’d first envisaged. Christina has a very warm and empathetic style about her yet she gets you to challenge yourself at the same time. I felt so positive after each session, she really made me feel like I could achieve anything I wanted. Christina is patient, knowledgeable, non-judgmental and a fantastic listener with a great ability to help you find the answers you’re looking for from within yourself.”

"It was a period of significant transition that I will never forget. I felt ready to take on the world and that the world was ready to see the real me."

“Through our sessions, Christina helped me to find myself again. I was able to question things about myself, understand my values, embrace my past, and live in the present without losing sight of the future and all that I am yet to achieve. It was a period of significant transition that I will never forget. I felt ready to take on the world and that the world was ready to see the real me. Christina is engaged and engaging. She is capable of really being in the moment and listening without judgment. The between-session emails enabled me to remain focused and committed to the cause knowing I had someone in my corner. Christina is insightful and dedicated, she allowed me to move at my own pace and embrace the entire experience in a non-threatening and non-intimidating way. It was a truly authentic and meaningful process.”
