Stacy Campesi is a certified professional coach with over 15 years of experience in coaching, training, and organization development. Stacy believes that the term “leadership coach” is kind of a dirty word. Most people’s impression is that a former HR exec will give you a step by step plan to become an amazing leader that everyone loves. The truth is that there is no one size fits all formula. Instead, Stacy helps her clients identify their own formula for success by uncovering their blinds spots, embracing their hidden strengths, and becoming the kind of leader that they'd want to follow. As a result, Stacy’s clients are able to have a healthy relationship with their calendar and their team, boost company culture with happier employees, let others help so they can do the big picture thinking that’s needed, set clear goals and priorities so their teams can stop spinning their wheels, and put customers back in the spotlight so they can have a remarkable experience. Stacy is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation. In addition, Stacy is also certified in the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), EQ-I 2.0 (Emotional Intelligence), Energy Leadership and COR.E Leadership Dynamics. In addition to her certifications, Stacy also holds a B.A. in Sociology and an M.A. in Leadership and Public Administration from Centenary University.

I am an executive coach, leadership and culture consultant, and former senior finance executive with 20+ years of experience spanning corporate leadership, nonprofit founding, and business ownership. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership development, and human-centered culture, helping leaders navigate complexity, lead with clarity, and achieve meaningful, sustainable results. Before becoming a full-time coach, I spent more than a decade at Microsoft, where I ultimately served as Chief Financial Officer for Microsoft Education. In that role, I led strategy and planning, financial forecasting, and business decision support for a multi-billion-dollar global division. I partnered closely with other executive leaders to align vision, strategy, and execution, while managing the real-world pressures of scale, growth, and accountability. I was also known as a people-centered leader and served as an executive sponsor for early career talent programs and multiple diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives - work that deepened my understanding of how leadership behaviors directly shape culture, performance, and belonging. Alongside my corporate career, I have founded and led multiple organizations in the social sector, including two community-based nonprofits. This work has grounded my leadership perspective in lived experience by navigating limited resources, complex systems, governance challenges, and the human realities leaders face when values, mission, and operational demands collide. It also sharpened my ability to see root causes beneath surface-level challenges and to lead through ambiguity, resistance, and change. In 2020, I founded MFR Coaching & Consulting with a clear mission: to empower leaders and organizations to achieve impact that is both results-driven and deeply human. Today, I serve as CEO of a multi-coach practice and also coach leaders one-to-one, working with executives, senior leaders, and high-potential professionals across corporate, public sector, nonprofit, and higher-education environments. My clients often come to me during moments of transition, growth, or tension such as those that transpire with new roles, expanded scope, organizational change, or the desire to lead more authentically without sacrificing performance. I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation and hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, which strongly informs my coaching approach. I am also certified in multiple leadership, culture, and assessment methodologies, including diversity executive coaching through the Institute for Coaching Innovation (formerly Coach Diversity Institute), culture assessment, diversity and belonging facilitation, and Hogan personality assessment. Earlier in my career, I trained and worked as a Certified Public Accountant, giving me a strong analytical foundation and fluency in business, finance, and organizational systems. As a coach, I am known for my ability to combine strategic rigor with deep empathy. I help leaders connect what they are experiencing day-to-day with the underlying patterns, beliefs, and systems that shape their leadership. My coaching style is direct, grounded, and relational. I ask thoughtful questions, surface blind spots with care, and support clients in translating insight into action. Leaders often tell me they feel both challenged and supported. They able to think more clearly, lead more intentionally, and trust themselves more fully after our work together. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, two dogs, and a cat, and I am the parent of two grown children. My work, like my life, is grounded in curiosity, courage, and a belief in people’s capacity to grow when given the space, challenge, and support to do so.

Since my accreditation, I have worked with government entities, UN agencies, corporates, small businesses, and individuals. My coaching expertise spans leadership, executive, career, transformation, and entrepreneurial coaching. I hold a special place for working with youth and adults at crossroads, as I am deeply inspired by the “aha” moments when clarity emerges and inner potential is unlocked. My personal motto is to be present, in the moment, with full awareness. This is why nature is my sanctuary, whether climbing a mountain, hiking a trail, or simply hugging a tree. Presence is the foundation of learning, growth, and meaningful leadership. Come on this journey with me and discover how learning and growth can become a lifelong adventure. I hold a doctorate in education from the University of Bath (UK) and passionately channel my knowledge not only into the business world but also into social impact. I am a firm advocate for social responsibility, committed to educating, mentoring, and inspiring youth and women in partnership with social enterprises and NGOs. I serve on the advisory board of Challenge to Change (CTC) and am a mentor with the GLEAC community, because real leadership is measured not only by what we build, but by who we uplift along the way.
