EXECUTIVE COACHING

for CEO's, Founders and Executives

Hi, I'm Vanessa Shaw

I work with CEO's, founders and senior leaders when the decisions in front of them are expensive to get wrong. Investor pressure, team complexity, or the question of what’s next.

I'm a former Silicon Valley co-founder. 15+ years as a trusted advisor to executives and entrepreneurs across the U.S., EMEA, and Latin America.

The work is practical and results-driven:

  • Faster, cleaner decisions
  • Teams that execute without oversight and escalation
  • Sustainable leadership habits to support high stakes work
