As a trusted advisor to executives at companies like LinkedIn (Microsoft), Google, Databricks, and Gilead, I combine strategic business acumen with deep leadership development expertise. My track record includes driving 75M+ in transformation benefits and launching international growth strategies that generated 166M+ in new business. Leaders hire me for my unique ability to accelerate both business results and leadership effectiveness—whether that's shortening complex BB sales cycles by 2-8 months or developing high-performance teams. A crucial part of my approach leverages the 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘠𝘰𝘶 assessment, developed by Ray Dalio’s organization, to elevate leaders’ self-awareness and effectiveness. As one of a select group of certified PrinciplesYou facilitators, I guide leaders in identifying opportunities for strategic alignment and unlocking their potential to drive lasting impact within their organizations. As an author of multiple leadership books and an award-winning Business Coach (US SBA THRIVE program), I help executives and business owners transform their organizations through strategic repositioning, operational excellence, and enhanced leadership capabilities. Clients value my hands-on style and ability to oscillate between strategic foresight and operational impact.

About Corinna
I’m a first-generation college graduate and immigrant who moved to the U.S. to pursue greater opportunities both personally and professionally. Growing up, I became deeply curious about leadership and how it could influence not just businesses but lives. I earned a master’s degree in International Business and have since held global leadership roles, transforming individuals, teams, and organizations across multiple continents. My journey hasn’t been without challenges. Early in my career, I believed strong performance alone would propel my career forward, but I learned the hard way that understanding leadership, communication, and strategy were the real game-changers. That experience shaped me into the leader and coach I am today—a coach with empathy for career hurdles and a proven ability to help others avoid the mistakes I made while finding their true leadership potential. Leadership communication has been a cornerstone of my career and one of my greatest passions. It’s why I’ve written a book, facilitated leadership workshops, and worked with hundreds of professionals who wanted to lead authentically, navigate challenges with confidence, and build high-performing teams. When I’m not coaching executives and emerging leaders to succeed, you’ll find me mentoring, speaking, and supporting organizations to drive meaningful impact.
Why do I coach?
I coach out of a passion for enabling leaders to rise to their full potential and create ripple effects of positive change. Leadership has the power to transform careers, teams, and entire organizations, and I’m driven by helping leaders find their authentic style, communicate with confidence, and lead with integrity. My personal journey taught me the pain of struggling without guidance, the cost of not recognizing critical drivers of leadership success, and ultimately, the joy of turning challenges into meaningful growth. I want to be the person I needed early in my career—the coach who believes in their clients’ potential and equips them to thrive. I believe leadership should leave a legacy. It’s about creating environments where people feel valued, empowered, and aligned with a greater purpose. My mission is to redeem careless, ineffective leadership by helping leaders think bigger, lead better, and make an impact that lasts long after they leave.
