Hi, I'm Farah.

Leadership Development Advisor, Certified Executive Coach, & former Fortune 200 Director

When I served in leadership roles in tech, I led global teams through intense growth phases: a spin-off, IPO, hypergrowth, global pandemic, and multiple re-orgs. I did so while sustaining high levels of productivity and engagement.

Using my signature approach, which combines self reflection with targeted action and accountability, I now coach leaders to disrupt their 'status quo' ways of leading to meet the new and growing demands of their businesses.

"I've gone back to Farah more than once to coach our key leaders at critical growth points in our business and in their development. We would see a difference within weeks of the start of the engagements. Every dollar I have sent her way has been worth it."

-Head of People, Series A, Health Tech

"Farah took a thoughtful approach to unifying our leadership team during one of our offsites. Her facilitation sparked meaningful discussion and drove us to action. It was an insightful and highly productive session that made a significant impact on our team."

-Annette Akpolo, VP People and Culture, Flutterwave

"I cannot overstate the impact of my coaching experience with Farah; it has been a pivotal and transformative force for me. I now operate from a grounded place that helps me to advocate for, and take action towards, what I believe in, thus contributing even more powerfully to innovation in an industry where I have many years of experience. She has an incredible way to share deep personal insights while being a catalyst for meaningful change.Thank you, Farah, for not just guiding me through this journey, but for walking beside me every step of the way. Your impact on me will last a lifetime!"

-Tejal Raichura, Director, Telemedicine

You did a TREMENDOUS job of on-the-spot action planning and thinking. The ability to solve actual issues I was having day-to-day but also (sneakily) align them to broader themes we were working on was really, really well done. I am not sure how you did it but….it worked."

- Melissa L., Executive Director

"Farah was kind, consistent and extremely helpful in not only opening my eyes to new ideas but also helping me think outside the box to put myself promptly in the driver seat to accomplish the goals of the company as a whole. Morale has improved and a lot of insight was gained along the way to help me become a better, more balanced leader."

-Steven, Co-Founder and COO of Hazlnut
