Meet the coaches

Trevor helps founders and CEOs at high-growth VC and PE-backed companies navigate rapid growth, transition, and uncertainty by drawing on over a decade building and running Talentism’s coaching methodology from the inside.

Greg works with C-suite executives at pre-seed through pre-IPO startups whose teams are misaligned, stuck in ambiguity, or moving too slowly for the stage they’re at. He names what others won’t, and gets to the real problem fast with a clear path forward.

Jessi helps founders and C-suite leaders redefine their roles as their companies scale - what worked at the previous stage of growth, rarely works for the next. She brings ruthless honesty, sharp humor, and a rare ability to translate hard truths into real action.

Luna helps VP and C-suite leaders at growth-stage technology and healthcare companies cut through goal confusion and cross-functional misalignment by delivering direct feedback that lands without threat and getting clients to experimentation faster than most coaches do.

Huw helps founders and CEOs of VC and PE backed software and technology companies create clarity and alignment through growth, turnaround, and transition by drawing on his own experience as a three-time founder who has lived every stage of the journey himself.

Mandisa helps leaders at early to growth stage companies move from confusion to clarity by delivering difficult truths without shame and consistently reframing what looks like an individual problem into the system design gap it actually is.

Linda helps founders and executives at early-stage, mission-driven companies identify structural misalignment and missed opportunities, especially with the people and team dynamics that are often overlooked.

Michael helps founders and C-suite leaders at high-growth startups find clarity and alignment during change by bringing PhD-level analytical rigor and deep operating experience in talent and human capital to every engagement.

Renee works with CEOs and senior leaders at growth-stage companies who are stuck. She establishes trust and ease fast, creates clarity out of complexity, and helps leaders identify and reframe the narratives getting in their way.

Dave helps founders and executives at early-stage companies separate the structural problems from the personal failure narratives by building trust fast enough that clients say the thing they haven’t said yet.

Lucia helps founders and senior leaders move from ambiguity to concrete direction by establishing the candor and trust that honest self-examination requires and connecting patterns across time that clients couldn’t see on their own.

Alanna helps private equity leaders identify blind spots, challenge unhelpful narratives, and lead with greater clarity and less ego so they can achieve their goals faster.

Leigh helps senior executives and founders at Series C through post-IPO companies navigate the human dynamics slowing them down by identifying blindspots, unblocking systemic friction and helping high performers find their outlier advantage.

Libbie helps female founders and CEOs, female named successors, and Chief People Officers translate ambiguity into actionable frameworks and scale their organizations by bringing the operator experience of someone who has done it at every stage from hypergrowth startup to public company.

Rocio coaches cross-functional leaders on clarity and communication. A former founder and CEO, she helps leaders cut through organizational noise and build the shared language their teams need to execute.
