I work with leaders and founding teams who are committed to building different - and navigating the conflicts that come with that commitment.
When you build a team with genuine diversity of thought, background, and experience, you unlock innovation. You also unlock complex interpersonal dynamics: power struggles, trust breakdowns, strategic misalignment, and conflict that often has roots in how different people experience risk, authority, and belonging. I specialize in helping leaders and teams navigate these conflicts through executive coaching and leadership team advisory work.
You don't have to diminish yourself to lead effectively. You can be both authentic and powerful.
To occupy your God-given space in the world; to not overestimate yourself or your abilities, but to not underestimate them either.
I founded Anavah Leadership because I was tired of seeing two, prevalent, and binary models of leadership—one, who underestimates themself, and the other who quickly inflates their ego for their own benefit, rather than prioritizing their organization or society.
Through coaching and leadership team advisory, I hope to foster a more balanced form of leadership, where leaders learn to stop shrinking, start occupying exactly the space they were meant to, and reclaim the work that is theirs (and only theirs) to do.
How we work
My approach is grounded in your lived experience and focused on creating real movement.
I bring 16+ years of experience scaling teams and building talent functions at Deloitte, Citigroup, and Flatiron Health (through its $1.9B acquisition by Roche), plus deep expertise in how identity and difference shape leadership dynamics.
Whether working 1:1 with leaders or with founding teams and leadership teams, my approach combines strategic thinking, psychological insight, and direct feedback to help you move from stuck to clear.
My clients are from a range of remarkable companies—big, small, and growing.
