I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Leadership Transformation Consultant and Governance Professional with extensive experience partnering with executives, senior leaders and organisations across the public and private sectors. My work spans executive coaching, leadership development, facilitation, organisational culture, governance and learning design, supporting leaders to navigate complexity, lead change and strengthen organisational effectiveness. With a background that includes governance, company secretariat, organisational development and executive coaching, I bring both strategic insight and a deep understanding of the human dynamics that influence leadership performance. I have worked with organisations including Transnet, National Treasury, Liberty, Alexander Forbes and other public and private sector clients, coaching leaders, facilitating leadership programmes and supporting organisational transformation. My coaching approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based and grounded in the belief that sustainable organisational change begins with personal transformation. I create psychologically safe spaces where leaders develop greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, resilience and the confidence to lead authentically. In addition to one-on-one executive coaching, I design and facilitate leadership development programmes, team interventions and women in leadership initiatives, helping individuals and organisations build cultures of trust, accountability and high performance.

Core Values: Innovation | Adaptability | Connection | Integrity | Playful ＞＞＞＞ Kaizen As a coach, coach supervisor, workshop/group facilitator, and author, my life and career has been dedicated to the field of self-development and to effecting positive change through storytelling and conversations initially as a psychotherapist and now as a Master Certified Coach [MCC] accredited by the ICF and a certified coach supervisor with a European Supervision Individual Accreditation [ESIA] from the EMCC.  Clients describe me as authentic, empathic, playful, incisive, and willing to challenge them when the time arises.  I believe that coaching is whole-person systems focused - everything is connected.  My coaching practice involves helping my clients to develop professional skills such as servant leadership, attention/time management, managing up/down, emotional intelligence, and building trust/psychological safety with teams.  I also support my clients to build personal development areas such as maintaining positive relationships, mental/physical wellness, and values-purpose alignment.     After completing business school, I started my career in tech start-ups in Silicon Beach, CA, but then shifted to pursue clinical psychology. Upon completing my Master's in Psychology, I worked as a therapist and received a certification in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy [DBT] which combines a Cognitive-Behavioral technique with Mindfulness practices.  Finding that I had over-corrected a bit, I left the clinical world to find my sweet spot between business and psychology in executive coaching about ten years ago.  As a coach, I use all my business and start-up experiences coupled with positive psychology and a humanistic-ontological theoretical position to form the foundation of how I approached my practice. I trained as a coach under the Ericksonian approach which holds that people are already whole and resourceful when they come to coaching and that growth is merely an expansion of wholeness. With this holistic approach and my clinical understanding of group dynamics from over a decade of experience facilitating groups both in-person and online and an equal amount of time coaching individuals, I aim to elicit powerful mindset shifts with my clients by supporting them to transform unproductive beliefs into resourceful ones. I do this by utilizing neuroscience concepts of habit formation, the power of our imagination, and the convergence of this evidence that suggests sustainable development in people and organizations are the product of prospection, attention, intention, and then reflection.   Prospection – Digging for possibilities and visioning a future state of how we would like for it to be Attention – Uncovering new ways of what we can do to make it be Intention – Gaining awareness around why we want it to be Reflection – Looking back on these experiments and learning about who we are becoming from our how – why – what, developing our next how – why – what

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.

She brings 15 years of international experience in Organizational Development, HR, and Talent Management, partnering with C-suite leaders and global teams in complex, fast-changing environments. She also serves on the faculty of an ICF-accredited coach education program, where she teaches and mentors future professional coaches. She specializes in helping leaders and professionals navigate high-stakes decisions, career and leadership transitions, cross-cultural challenges, and moments when the path forward isn’t obvious. Her approach combines strategic thinking with practical action, helping clients cut through the noise, gain clarity, and translate insight into meaningful change. Alongside her coaching practice, Alexandra works as an organizational consultant, supporting leadership teams through cultural and organizational change, leadership development, talent strategy, and alignment. Her experience spans executive coaching, mentoring, facilitation, leadership development, and building leadership pipelines aligned with business goals. Cross-cultural work is an important part of her practice. Having lived in five countries, built her own international career, and working in English, Spanish, and Russian, Alexandra understands firsthand what it means to adapt, reinvent yourself, and find your voice in a new environment. She supports global professionals and leaders in doing this without losing their sense of identity along the way. She is also passionate about supporting women in leadership, helping them strengthen their voice, expand their influence, and navigate demanding, often male-dominated environments with confidence and authenticity. Known for bringing clarity to ambiguity, Alexandra is often the person leaders and organizations turn to when something needs to shift, but no one is quite sure yet what the way forward looks like. _____________________________________________ Certifications & Accreditations: Master Intelligent Leadership® Executive Coach | John Mattone Inc., 2025 Member | International Coaching Federation, 2025 Professional Certified Coach (PCC) | International Coaching Federation, 2024 Certified Embodiment Coach | Embodiment Unlimited, 2023 Education: - International Level Professional Coach - ICF ACTP (International Coaching Federation Accredited Coach Training Program) | Coaching Up - International University of Coaching Development, 2021-2022 - Post-graduate diploma in Coaching, Human Resources | Universidad Europea del Atlántico, Spain, 2017-2018 Courses: - Mentor-Coach Certification | Coaching Up - International University of Coaching Development, 2024-2025 - Foundations of Cross-Cultural Coaching | Dancing Between Cultures, 2023 - Coaching for Strategic Selling with Perspective | Korn Ferry, 2023 - Beyond Women's Trauma | Embodiment Unlimited, 2022 - I Am Remarkable | Google, 2020 - Internal Mental Wellness Partner Certification | Concentrix, 2020 - Internal Leadership Coach Certification | Concentrix, 2019 - Conscious Leadership and Strategic Self- Management Level I and II | Centro Del Líder, 2017 - Search Inside Yourself | Google, 2017 - Conscious Leadership Training | Centro Del Líder, 2016 - Introduction to Presence-Based Coaching | Centro Del Líder, 2016 - Coaching for Development | Centro Del Líder, 2015 - Coaching for Family-owned Organizations | Centro Del Líder, 2015
