Executive coaching

Executive coaching that builds leaders, not dependency

1:1 coaching for directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders navigating growth, transition, or the gap between where they are and where their role demands they be.

Who it's for

Leaders at an inflection point

Newly elevated leaders

The skills that got you promoted won't be the skills that make you successful. Leading through others is a fundamentally different skill set — and nobody gave you a playbook. Let's build the skills that will.

Senior leaders needing renewal

You don't need another productivity hack. Somewhere between the reorgs and the all-hands, you lost the thread. Coaching is a space to think clearly, recalibrate, and lead with intention again.

Leaders in transition

You're not lost. You're between stories. I've reinvented my own career multiple times, and I help leaders find the through-line in their experience and build forward with clarity.

Technical leaders

I've coached leaders across AI, Infrastructure, and Data Centers at Meta. I speak your language, and I'll help you build the communication and people skills that turn good technical leaders into great ones.

How it works

Coaching tied to real goals — not a black box

Every engagement starts with real goals — yours and your organization's — and builds toward measurable change. I align with your manager and HRBP from day one so coaching isn't a black box.

At retainer level, I get into the actual work: meeting audits, feedback debriefs, and real-time support for the moments that matter most. And because the best development happens between sessions, 12-session and retainer packages include a custom AI assistant built around your development goals.

Why Ian

Coached in the room, not from a textbook

I spent eight years at Meta as Director of Leader Development, coaching executives across AI, Privacy, Reality Labs, Instagram, Infrastructure, and Data Centers. I've seen every flavor of leadership challenge — and built frameworks that actually stick.

Before that, I was a middle school art teacher in New York City. That range shapes how I coach: warm rigor, creative problem-solving, and a practical tool, framework, or system you can use. I'm an ICF ACC accredited coach and a graduate of the Columbia Executive Coaching Program.

More about Ian

Between sessions

A custom AI assistant built from our work together

In 12-session and retainer packages, I build a custom AI assistant from our work together: your goals, the frameworks we use, and the language from our sessions. It's there in the in-between moments, right before the hard conversation or the meeting where the new habit gets tested.

Clients consistently tell me it helps them ground the things we talk about in the moment they need them. Development doesn't stop when the session ends, and progress becomes consistent and knowable, to you and to the people around you.

Assessments

Integrated into the work, not standalone products. Assessments create shared language and accelerate development.

HPI, HDS, MVPI, and Flash report. Includes assessments and a dedicated 60-minute debrief session. Available across all engagement types.

Frequently asked questions

Who is executive coaching for?

Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders navigating growth, transition, or the gap between where they are and where their role demands they be — including newly promoted leaders, senior leaders who need renewal, and technical leaders building their people skills.

How long does an executive coaching engagement last?

A Focused Sprint is 6 sessions over about 3 months. Deep Work is 12 sessions over about 6 months. A Partnership is a 6-month retainer with unlimited sessions.

Is coaching virtual or in person?

Most coaching is virtual, so I work with leaders wherever they are. I'm based in Brooklyn, New York, and travel for on-site work when it calls for it.

How do you measure progress?

Every engagement starts with goals aligned between you, your manager, and HR. I do HRBP check-ins at defined intervals, so progress is visible to the people who need to see it — not a black box.

What is the custom AI assistant?

A custom AI assistant built from our work together, around your development goals and the language from our sessions. It's included in the 12-session and retainer packages and helps you ground what we talk about in the moments between sessions.

Do you use leadership assessments?

Yes. Hogan Insight Series or Leadership Circle Profile 360 assessments are available, each with a dedicated debrief session.

Other ways I can help

Every engagement is structured like building blocks. Start with what you need most, then expand from there.
