CTO Coach: Coaching and mentoring built for technology leaders

I only take on six clients at a time. That means I offer personalised, impactful leadership development tailored to your growth, unique challenges and goals. It also keeps the work fresh and meaningful for me. I built the CTO coaching program at the intersection of real-world experience and robust coaching skills.

Coaching Accreditations

I bring a rigorous, data-driven approach to coaching, underpinned by advanced training and accreditation from:

• Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership

• Leadership Circle

• The Leadership Context

• Melbourne Business School

• the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Mentoring Capability

I draw on my 30+ years of leadership experience to mentor CTOs, CIOs and digital leaders as they:

• Master critical skills like navigating investor and board relationships

• Foster accountability to build high-performance cultures

• Implement disciplined commercial practices

• Design optimal teams and organisational structures

Sample Engagements

• Developing emerging CTOs: Engaged to develop an internal candidate to be the best successor for CTO leadership transition. Over six months, we developed the “hard job skills” necessary to lead a global team and the “soft skills” to be a welcome contributor to the executive committee and Board. The company ran a global search, and this candidate successfully won the permanent role.

• Developing newly appointed CTOs and CIOs: Coached and mentored multiple newly appointed CTOs/CIOs to help them transition from functional managers into effective executives and enterprise-level leaders. My brief from the CEO: Quickly get them up-to-speed and on track for long-term success.

• Scale experienced CTO leadership capacity: Coached an experienced CTO to become a more effective leader with broad influence across the enterprise. We discovered and overcame existing beliefs and behaviours that limited her success. I mentored through a significant restructuring of the tech organisation to lift execution capability and deliver a new consumer product line.

• Improve relationships to increase impact: I coached an experienced CIO to improve engagement with peer executive stakeholders and then launch a successful digital transformation of the business.

• Develop emerging leaders: Engaged in developing emerging female leaders in two organisations identified for future C-level roles. Through coaching, I instilled strong leadership skills, practices, and mindsets. I mentored them to encourage risk-taking and active participation, building confidence and leadership presence. This collaboration with senior colleagues and their Boards further enhanced their profiles and career trajectories.

Let’s work together to unlock your leadership.
