MY BACKGROUND
Experience that informs every engagement.
My "Why"
I'm the founder of dWayForward, an executive coaching and leadership consulting practice, but my passion for this work began long before I launched my own firm. For more than a decade, even in my most demanding leadership roles, I’ve championed leadership development initiatives and coached my peers, driven by a passion for helping others grow.
This work is also personal. Having worked with transformative coaches who changed my own trajectory, I’m committed to paying that impact forward—to serving as that trusted, insightful partner for others in a deeply meaningful way.
My Experience: The Foundation
My ability to be that partner is grounded in 27+ years of real-world experience across global financial markets, senior leadership, and executive search. I’ve lived the challenges my clients face.
My career began at Goldman Sachs in fixed-income derivatives, followed by senior roles at Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns. This led to an 11-year tenure at Barclays, where I held leadership positions across global markets in New York and Singapore. While in Singapore, I built and led the firm's first global cross-asset macro distribution team—managing a large, multicultural, multi-country operation.
In 2020, I transitioned into executive search, first as a Managing Director at Sheffield Haworth and then as a Consultant at Spencer Stuart, one of the world's leading leadership advisory firms. There, I specialized in placing C-suite and board-level leaders and co-authored the thought-leadership piece, "Confronting the Model Minority Myth."
My Approach: The Framework
My coaching methodology integrates this practical, lived experience with world class education and rigorous, science-backed training:
B.A. in Economics (with a mathematical approach), Princeton University
ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), trained via the ICF-accredited Center for Executive Coaching
Certified Hogan Assessment practitioner
Wharton Executive Education Certificate, Understanding the Brain: Using Neuroscience to Deliver Better Business Results
Positive Intelligence® Program graduate
Beyond the Bio
I live in Manhattan, where I enjoy strength training, baking, hosting dinner parties, and traveling the world with my partner. I also relax by binge-watching BBC crime and spy shows.
