About Me
I coach early to mid-career business professionals who want to move up faster, manage more people, and be recognized as a leader!
Have you stopped feeling joy when you head out to work each day? Do you feel stuck in an individual contributor role, but really want to manage a team? Or are you stuck in middle management, and can’t seem to break into the executive ranks?
Are you moving up slowly, but not getting any younger? Do you struggle with difficult members of your team? Does that promotion seem just out of reach? Do you have trouble presenting and communicating to the C-Suite?
This is where I come in! The challenges you’re facing involve the “soft skills” of leadership: personal presence, building trust, and displaying confidence. These skills aren’t taught in school, and you don’t really hear about them in “onboarding” programs. Yet, as you move up in an organization, these skills become increasingly important. The most important.
I have over 30 years as a corporate executive, management consultant, coach, facilitator, trainer, and speaker. My personal successes and failures allow me to transfer my extensive experience to others to help accelerate their growth and avoid key mistakes.
Six years ago, I left corporate roles and chose to focus entirely on what I’ve loved the most throughout my career: people. I draw energy from helping people develop, progress, and succeed. And that’s why you’re reading my profile right now.
Details about me:
I was a Partner at Ernst & Young Consulting and a Vice President at Capgemini where I focused on consulting services and strategic partnerships.
I also held various Director and Vice President sales roles at a number of influential Silicon Valley companies including Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Oracle/NetSuite.
I live in Brentwood, California with my wife Jenny. We enjoy golf, travel and spending time with our children and grandchildren.

Ive known Sam for more than a decade and worked as a partner on some very challenging, entangled, organizational problems. His talent has always been to listen very closely and see fresh ways to undo the knots standing in the way. When hes in front of the room, his humor has made my job easy because he connects so well with executives and uses that rapport in facilitating and hardened points of view. Hes an incredible talent and I look forward each time I get to work with him.
Jim Arena, Managing Director, Strategic Change Consulting
Sam has provided mentoring, counseling, and coaching at various points in my career. He treats you like a friend but doesn't hesitate to push back and challenge your assumptions, your conclusions, or your direction. He doesn't impose his positions, despite his long experience and deep understanding, instead he asks questions and connects dots to help drive ownership of my own issues.
Pat Merrell, Group Vice President, Oracle/Netsuite
Ive been getting career coaching from Sam for many years now and I plan to continue. Hes thoughtful, inquisitive, and forces me to think through and rethink my goals, strategies, assumptions and decisions. Ive gained a lot through our conversations, and I highly recommend him.

Sam has provided mentoring and coaching services during critical points in my career. His confidential and collaborative coaching services are spot on and I have realized tangible benefits.
Pervez Setna, Director, PRO Unlimited
"Sam is a dedicated coach who helped me improve my public speaking and professional skills during the 12-week course. Sam gave direct, honest feedback and helped me remove barriers I did not even know I had. He's very passionate at what he does. I would recommend his class to other young professionals like myself."

I always looked forward to my conversations with Sam and always left feeling more clarity and motivation. Hes easy to talk to, has a sense of humor, but drives the discussion to focus on progress and results. Sam has helped me to be more successful and more fulfilled in my career, which has had a positive impact on my life. Jackie Old, Head of Org Development, Howden, Scotland
