Hi, I’m Kristen…
I coach product, UX, and business leaders who are looking to lead larger, often in messy, remote, fast-moving environments. My clients are smart, capable, and already doing the work, but are ready to move with more confidence, more visibility, and more intention.
I've built and led distributed teams at scale. I know what it takes to build trust, create structure, and deliver outcomes when everyone’s on Zoom and the org is shifting underneath you.
How we’ll work
Strategic, not just supportive
We’ll connect the dots between team dynamics, business goals, and leadership challenges. Whether you're managing up, setting a new direction, or figuring out how to lead through change, you’ll get clear frameworks, not just vague advice.
Ambiguity whisperer
If you’re “first in role,” stuck in an unclear org chart across multiple timezones, or trying to build trust in a new leadership seat, I’ve been there. We’ll design clarity - for you, your team, and the people around you.
Direct, but deeply empathetic
I’ll ask the hard questions, and help you build the confidence to ask your own. My coaching is candid, kind, and rooted in real experience.
Focused on real outcomes
Get promoted. Lead better. Navigate change. Learn how to speak the language of executives without losing yourself. That’s the work we’ll do.
Human-centered, systems-aware
I’ve designed digital platforms, led accessibility and UX orgs, and built product cultures from scratch. I care about both the people and the process, and I’ll help you lead with both in mind.
NUTS & Bolts
This is a small, intentional coaching practice. I work with just a few clients at a time.
We might be a good fit if:
You’re a mid-career product, UX or tech leader looking to grow into a bigger role
You’re leading remotely with a team that’s growing or shifting
You want a coach who sees the whole picture: org dynamics, design, product, ambition, and identity
You’re ready to work with someone who will be in your corner and push you to grow
Interested?
I offer free 20-minute intro calls.
If it feels like a fit, I offer flexible packages for 1:1 coaching on a monthly basis.
Why “And Also”?
Because our work isn’t about picking one thing or the other. You can be strategic and human. Focused on product and people. Clear and kind. Ambitious and grounded. It’s all part of it.
