Hello, I'm Jamie

I know what it feels like to look successful on the outside while quietly questioning your worth on the inside. For years, I climbed the corporate ladder (working at DoubleClick, Google, and eventually becoming VP of Product in MarTech) checking all the boxes of success: the great salary, the downtown Chicago apartment, the world travel.

But underneath it all? 

I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from myself. I pushed through back pain, loneliness, and a nagging voice that told me I wasn’t enough. I was “successful,” but I didn’t feel it.

The turning point came when I realized I was done living by everyone else’s rules. I wanted more than a title or a paycheck.

I wanted to feel aligned, confident, and recognized for the impact I brought to the table.

That’s when I dove into my own personal work, invested in coaching, and ultimately followed my calling to become an executive coach for wome in tech – helping other women own their expertise and not only get a voice at the table but command it. 

Why I Coach Women in Tech

I’ve been the only woman in the room, I’ve felt what it’s like to have my expertise questioned or overlooked. And I’ve seen countless brilliant woman stay quiet because they didn’t feel “ready” or “enough” to claim their seat at the table. 

Now, I help senior-level women in Tech break that cycle. I coach women to: 

  • Assert their authority: even in male-dominated spaces. 
  • Own their expertise: so their value is recognized and rewarded. 
  • Get the pay, influence and credit they’ve earned: without burning out. 

What Lights Me Up

 When a client tells me she spoke up in a meeting where she would normally hesitate, or when she finally stopped taking on other people’s work because “someone has to make sure it doesn’t fall through the cracks” or when she negotiates even though they gave her the “ceiling” they told her they had and earns another $10K. That’s the moment that I know she’s owning her worth. 

That’s why I do this work. 

I believe success doesn’t mean sacrificing your well-being or your authenticity. It’s abotu leading with clarity, confidence and impact all while still being you. 

Working with Jamie was one of the best decisions I've made for my professional development. I was transitioning to a new leadership role, so I decided to seek out a coach who could help me gain clarity and direction. Thanks to our coaching sessions, I've been able to make more thoughtful decisions for the team, tackle obstacles in a constructive way, and transition successfully into the new role. Through our work, I've learned to recognize and overcome limiting beliefs that were holding me back and develop a more positive and growth-oriented mindset. I come away from each session with a personalized action plan that helps me to confidently pursue my goals. Overall, coaching has given me the gift of more self-awareness and confidence, and tools to succeed as the kind of leader I'd like to be. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone who's looking to take their career to the next level and develop as a person.
