Lead with clarity, confidence, and ease
I've spent 20+ years in tech, 16 of them at Meta, including 7 as a Director of Product. I've been a people leader for over a decade and have coached senior ICs and managers up to L9. Now I'm here to support you.
What people say
“You gave me the single hardest piece of feedback of my career and it became the turning point everything after was built on. You saw me clearly before I could see myself, and you kept believing in me even in the stretches where I didn't.”
“[…] you changed the trajectory of my career by helping me see who I already was. You held up a mirror with such care - helping me articulate my problems, my asks, my gaps - and made me feel comfortable owning all of it.”
“Linda has a knack at getting at the "reason behind the stated reason" - the real thing that's blocking progress beyond what folks say is going on when they walk into her virtual office.”
“I feel like you've really found your niche in our org — everyone you touch gets better. […] This is a force multiplier for the org, because it creates additional capacity over time as people get more resilient, independent and self-healing.”
Coaching focus areas
The more senior you get, the lonelier it can be. I know this from my own journey. It made a world of difference to have a trusted partner outside my day-to-day who truly got it. As your coach, I'm entirely on your team, and everything we discuss stays between us.

How we work together
You're good at what you do, and something is shifting. Maybe you're ready for more, or ready to do things differently. Maybe you feel stuck. Together, we figure out what's next and how to get there.
Part coach, part advisor. As a coach, I help you see what really matters, understand yourself more deeply, and practice new skills with support. As an advisor, I bring a candid perspective, practical frameworks, and real operator experience. I move between the two depending on what you need in the moment.
I work with a small number of clients at a time, so I can go deep with each one. We start with a short intro chat to see if we're a good fit.
Each person and situation is unique. I meet you where you are, and we partner to make it work for you. Here's an example of a flow that has worked for many people:
- Start with what's hard. You bring what feels hard right now. We work through it together, so you get practical support right away.
- Find the patterns. We usually meet every 2–3 weeks, and more often when things heat up. As new and old challenges come up, themes emerge. We give them shape and clarity, and explore what drives you, what you value, and how you make decisions.
- Spiral up. We set goals together. You try new approaches and integrate what works. When the same themes come back around, you meet them with more confidence and ease. Over time, you build more capacity and resilience.
Your career doesn't exist in isolation. As a mom of three, I know many of us carry other responsibilities and aspirations beyond work. I'm here to support the whole you.
